Plagiarism is silly

Not only is it wrong to claim someone elses words as yours, it's also really stupid to do it when a quick google search can confirm you are indeed not the author of whatever it is you are claiming to be the author of..


My referrer log pointed me to this thread where a person is claiming to be the author of one of my recent entries.. "Types of programmers". I can guarantee, that this amusing posting was typed straight out of Robert Cringley's book..

Yes, in this day and age, plagarism is silly :)

Yeah, and thank you for that nice link to localhost :) Not all of us use radio userland, or whatever that is, you know :)
