It grinds my gears because it isn't just amateur, it can be sleazy and misleading. You could have changed something in his post and the people reading this wouldn't know. The original could be updated and people reading this wouldn't know. In the real world you can't get away with just copying and pasting things willy nilly.
If you want to do things right, just link the original source next time, that's it, no way around it.

I think you just have reading comprehension issues, man. I don't know why it bothers you so much.
He makes a post talking about some dude he finds has good material, writes his name, then posts the article.
When you write a paper for college and source a book some dude wrote, you don't buy a copy of the book and turn it in to the professor. You write the name of the book and the author, and if the professor cares, he can look-up the source himself.
If anything, I think it is more mature to NOT plug some bodybuilding site, just to make people aware of Alan Aragon's words. It isn't as if the article was posted and being claimed as original work by Alan. Vedic clearly says that Alan is something of a nutritional buff and the fact that Vedic respects the words of Alan and finds him to be very credible as a writer.
Did you just not read the post, or what?

Title - Alan Aragon article I copied
Introduction - For those that don't know I find Alan to be one of the smartest in the field of sports nutrition. Top five to me. So when he speaks I listen. Here are some of his thoughts on pre and PWO. Hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend.
