For starters......... Stop posting like a maniac in all the forums.

You are making tons of silly posts and are starting to annoy the moderators. If you want to gain MVP's EARN them by getting into discussions rather than posting simple statements.

You also posted a bunch of articles which are NOT your work. They are direct copies of other peoples work... This is called PLAGERISM. and is not allowed in the forums. or under international law.
So stop spamming the * out of the forums please... Contribute but stop posting garbage just for points!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have managed to get yourself on the watch list for a number of moderators with itchy trigger fingers.

Thanx for comment!

You are right a bit, not at all. Most of my work is my own research and i can defend it, im not only a keyboard puncher, i've my litrature base and field exposure also. I accept, some of my work is gathered from other sources but i'ld like to inform your goodself what i am doing here is to facilitate my fellows with relevent informations. If my way is going to Pilligrism, its never good i must stop it and only explore my own words.

Thanx
