Bible Question (short): Why make endless quotes? |
Question (full): Why do some quote endlessly from authors when a reference and summary would be just as acceptable? Then list the reference information. I find these long,and I do mean long, quotes cause me to skip over the information and move on to something else. We all can quote by the yard, but making a summary takes some thought and work. To me this represents more effort. Do you think this is worth attempting to try? |
