   This is criticism of you. Denying that criticism isn't criticism doesn't   
   change reality. Also, it wasn't cut-n-paste but copy-n-paste.   
   Cut-n-paste is what I did once when I was a suburban newspaper editor,   
   literally cutting copy for layout then pasting it on the board used to   
   prepare the plate for the web press.   
      
   On a computer, cut-n-paste deletes the file from its former location   
   after copying it to its new location.   
      
   "Please don't copy the ads when reposting an article copied from the Web   
   to Usenet" would have been perfectly polite.

   Or how about the original criticism, that to make this method as lethal   
   as quickly as possible and to keep the gas at a high enough concentration   
   without leaking, the state literally needs to build a gas chamber?
