I say "very recently" because I am about now to return to work after a very lenghty period of leave.
The issue here is not cutting and pasting material but acknowledging sources.
Not doing so, would inadvertently create confusion as it happened in your and in my case! Not knowing that Ariel had published an interview with Grant, I thought at the beginning that it was my interview that was published here, and so was the person who actually e-mailed me to let me know!
Under no circumstances was there a spite thing, aiming at creating further frinction between the Fora!
Cheers!

hi Elliott
Good to hear you are up and about.

The principle that you raise in your above post is well phrased by you. It is politeness at its core and removes the possibility that selective cut-and-paste distorts the original posters intent.
