I dont think the problem is having similar bits, I mean there's only so many ways you can say certain things. The problem is exact copying or copying very unique ideas.
For example:
My train created on August 8th:
http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/311861-...-train-canada/
Another train created on Aug 20th:
http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/313933-...-train-canada/
Except for some graphics and the disclaimer (where I ask people not copy my trains) they are the EXACT same. Word for word. This is an example of "copy & pasting". Now if it was re-written in the conductors own words, it wouldn't be such a problem. And not to pick on this conductor, I could post loads of examples!!! This is just the most recent I've seen. I used to try and ignore it but I'm done with that. Being polite seems to allow people full reign, so if I see if I will point it out in the thread from now on. There's simply NO NEED for it.
