I have been posting here for almost two months and I just now got around to reading the rules. I found the following quote:

"Any material posted that is not original to that post (copied from another web page or printed source) should have appropriate foot noting crediting the original source. If the material is original to you but has been copied from or posted on another web page please reference that page to eliminate the possibility of someone mistakenly accusing you of plagiarism. Plagiarism is a criminal offense and posts not following this policy will be removed. Multiple offenses by the same user will result in removal from site.

Everything I post here is original but I have posted on many other sites and have even posted under other names. There is no way I will ever be able to remember all the other sites so I can reference them on each of my posts here as required by the above noted rule. I have not been able to find a way to delete what I have posted here so my only other solution to this problem is to not post anything else and apologize for not reading the rules earlier. A moderator can probably delete my posts if desired but in the end I can not make more posts. I didn't want to just stop posting without making the reason known.

Of course you can continue posting... why not??? If you are using original documents that you are copying from your computer, just cut and paste the first line or two into your browser search engine to see what comes up. If your posts in other forums appear, you can cite them in your post. If they do not appear, you have nothing to worry about.
