Gilbert appears to be trying to insult other Goans and members of other Goan mailing lists once again. He was asked to do the honorable thing and retract his falsehoods when he did this repeatedly the last time, and lied about one of these mailing lists on Goanet in the following post: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2010-July/196590.html Please see my earlier request for retraction: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GoenchimXapotam/message/28965 This is my third reminder to Gilbert to retract his calumny on Goanet. Furthermore, in the present post, for some reason he has also injected unnecessary confusion into the legal definition of plagiarism, without providing any reference to an authentic original source for his claims. It is clear that he has foolishly confused copyright with plagiarism. I provide below the correct legal definition of plagiarism: QUOTE Intentional or unintentional use of another's words or ideas without acknowledging this use constitutes plagiarism: There are four common forms of plagiarism: * The duplication of an author's words without quotation marks and accurate references or footnotes. * The duplication of author's words or phrases with footnotes or accurate references, but without quotation marks. * The use of an author's ideas in paraphrase without accurate references or footnotes. * Submitting a paper in which exact words are merely rearranged even though footnoted. UNQUOTE Please see - http://definitions.uslegal.com/p/plagiarism/ Cheers, Santosh --- On Fri, 8/6/10, Gilbert Lawrence <[email protected]> wrote: > > Plagiarism has well-defined legal > definition.

Who said, "It appears that the Goanese (sic) are a roving people, prepared to go to any part of the world for well-paid employment"? How did Goans find their first toehold in the Gulf?
