So does that mean it’s dishonorable to use Google?

Copying from one source is called plagiarism. Copying from two or more sources is called research.....

It worked just fine for me in this case.

Nothing wrong with looking something up. We used to do it with encyclopedias all the time.

I trained as an HPB and transplant surgeon. Currently doing a locum for a kidney/pancreas program but don’t have any job security past December. The HPB/liver transplant job market is a hostile desolate wasteland right now. I didn’t think I’d be approaching 40 and wondering about finding a job!

But encyclopedias didn't track your research and send commercials to you.

AdBlock Plus has made most or all commercials disappear from the sites I visit. At least when I sit down and use the wife's computer, I can't believe the blizzard of crap that shows up on her screen. I don't get any of that stuff.

Any side effects, like slowing down your computer?

Not that I've ever noticed, but internet speeds and even my 2016-model computer's speed are such that everything is pretty fast. You know, except when this site is busy pouring itself a beer and can't respond immediately.

Here are the marketing points from the AdBlock Plus website:

• Experience a cleaner, faster web and block annoying ads
• Acceptable Ads are allowed by default to support websites
• Adblock Plus is free and open source

I've been happy enough with them that I send a donation in once or twice each year. Sort of like with Wikipedia.

Thanks for the info. Will look into it.

I do have AdBlock Plus, but google still tracks searches.

So don't use Google! You always hear me say that I looked something up in my search engine du jour, which most certainly isn't Google.....
