Giving credit to a Quote

I have inserted several quotes from others in my threads and noticed that consistently there is no "originally posted by ..." in the quote. Is there something I need to do so when quoting credit is given to the quoted. Thanks, Pete

Giving credit is important in any written medium. You can either use the [quote] tags to emphasize the credit you're giving, or you can preface the statement by saying something like... originally stated by so-and-so.
