I agree with the anonymous poster that clear cases of plagerism are a different animal, and not included under the usage of "XP whore" that I've seen. Neglecting to give credit, whether from thoughtlessness or a lack of ethics, does come under "XP whoring", and although it is sometimes casually referred to as plagerism, that casual usage doesn't belong in a definition.

As an example of the difference, a college professor who neglects giving credit for ideas or a turn of phrase gets a jaundiced eye fom his collegues, one who plagerizes may loose his job.

Also, [Marza] said it succinctly with his "Ok?", but I need the slightly longer version:

<grumble> Having this node plunked down in the middle of PerlMonks Discussion, without any context, was a significant puzzle, at least for me. [Parv] gave me the essential link to figure out what was going on (Much thanks). With that I could figure out that I was wasting my time figuring it out. </grumble>

A brief comment at the end of the OP saying something like
<i><blockquote>
(This definition was written for [http://use.perl.org/~blazar/journal/32936|another thread], but is offered here for other's use.)
</blockquote></i>
would have saved me much confusion.
