Cheeky Bastard!

I had a pingback on yesterday’s post this morning which, when I followed the link, led to this post… Now I know that it links back to my original post, but there is nothing that credits me as the author of the piece, in fact it claims this person 2nomads as the author. Now I don’t mind anyone using my words or photographs if they have the decency to ask first, but this person just goes ahead and nicks things from others because he/she simply can’t be bothered to write anything for themselves. Any one who does such a thing deserves to be called a “cheeky bastard”, and believe me I am being ultra polite there!

I suppose that in some ways I should be flattered that my words are good enough to plagiarise, but it only serves to make me extremely annoyed and irritated…

Update 29-04-2008:

It is pointless following the link in this post as it is now defunct; in fact the whole blog that had the offending post in it has now been pulled by the hosting company. After several attempts to contact the owner of the blog, without success, I eventually complained to the hosting company who were more than helpful in sorting the problem out. Let this be a warning to all who think that they can nick someone else’s work without first asking permission. In fact let THIS be a warning to anyone who thinks that nicking stuff from the web is OK.
