   Classic nutbar argumentation -- I have succeeded in irritating you with the   
   drivel I post, therefore my ideas are "controversial", which adjective is   
   used by the feeble-minded as a general term of approval.

   I recognise the term.  It comes from business jargon, I think from the   
   marketroid end of logistics.  "All the ingredients for our healthy range of   
   nutty bars are sourced from fair-trade suppliers", for example.   
      
   If you want to create a spurious aura of academic respectability, as I   
   don't doubt you do, then the term to use when posting second-hand drivel   
   instead of drivel original to you is "referenced".  That way, it sounds   
   less as if you are trying to sell something.

   If this is to be taken as a sign that you have better things to do, then it   
   is welcome news.   
      
   Now, I really must remember to killfile people when I say I will...
