I don't mind the comment! Though, if you're going to be talking about details of how the gospels were put together, I'll have to yield to aefenglommung's scholarship over my own. I've never taken an actual course, so what I know comes from those who have.
Certainly, I imagine that folks wrote stuff down and passed them around to an extent, but I find it hard to imagine that three of the gospels were cribbed (in whole or part) from one 'master document'. That's a bit more of a stretch, especially since at least Matthew and Luke were eyewitnesses to a lot of what's recorded.
