An epsidode like this leaves a thoroughly bad taste in the mouth. Of note, the copycat post has not been taken down yet and so I'm taking this up more seriously on my blog. Incidently HT also picked one of my posts and pics. At least they ran it under their blog section even if they mentioned the URL of the group blog and not mine and not even the link to the entire post. I find Nita's experience quite appalling, however. Just because we don't get paid to write what we do, is our content any less worthy of respect or credit? Lekhni, thanks for linking to this post.
