I did not reference it because I KNEW it was not the original when I
originally downloaded the material.

You're very good at throwing in minutia to slightly change the details
in an ill fated attempt at saving face. You should be a defense
attorney. :-)

It doesn't matter if the website you cut and pasted from was the
original author or not.
It's hard to find *anything* on the internet that hasn't been copied and
passed around from site to site. I find stuff I wrote on my website, ten
years ago, pasted on websites all over the world.

What matters is that you were trying pass it off as your own thought.
Have you seen Good Will Hunting?

When called on it I investigated and found out who the ORIGINAL author
was and gave credit where credit was due.

Credit to the original author in the context of this debate isn't nearly
as important as simply writing, "I copied the following from a mechanics
website."
