Doesn't matter. The Global Good News website > rewrites stuff all the time, but doesn't put quotes around it as though it were the original > article. In this case, the material was presented as the original article. There don't have to be quotes around the quoted material if it's set off in some way. Did the email/website we're talking about now do this? AND... was there a > substantial change in the facts given? In the case of Chopra's writings, he DID rewrite > substantially. As far as I can tell, the changes weren't substantive. It's the principle of the thing, and it's an important principle. But there really is no comparison with Chopra's writings, because they're *his*, not somebody else's. You can rewrite your own material however you want.
