Breaking into other people's houses???

I wonder what is unethical about quoting from other
people's websites?

The page I quoted from was (unlike the basic URL
http://www.runrev.com) freely accessible:

http://www.runrev.com/section/whats_new.php

My website had a 'hidden' page for quite a while with
photographs of my children so that my relatives could look
at them. It was hidden insofar as there were no links to it
- and owing to that it was inaccessible unless you knew the
URL. The other pages of my website are freely accessible
and as such anybody who so wishes can copy from them.

Quoting from a webpage is NOT unethical - what MAY be
unethical is if one then writes something negative,
derogatory or untrue about it. I am well aware what is
unethical.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
