When a poster is citing a printed book or magazine, a bibliographical reference is fine. If the book is old and in the public domain, e.g. old translations of the Bible or the Didache, then no source information is needed.

If he is citing an on-line source, then a url or hotlink is preferred both for the moderators checking copyright restrictions and for those wishing to learn more and verify the quote in context.

Thanks for the clarification, Moderator. Mind were all from books I keep on my computer. When I quote from the web, I try to remember to include the URL’s. Sometimes I forget, since I can’t remember things from one minute to the next, but I try.
