This added insult to thievery. I moved heaven and earth to get SOME sort of recognition/compensation - something! Not a damned thing was ever said, printed or acknowledged.It's a violation as disturbing as if someone broke into the house and took your goodies.Unless you've been the victim of plagiarism, I guess you just don't get it.

I haven't watched it yet, but I was told yesterday on Facebook that per Idle Hands, a bagel slicer should work just fine.
Surely you had one of those in your pack.
No use crying over unspilt blood, though.

I often supply the background materials, and Iseldom use people outside of my small group - we, as much as possible, try and make certain we credit our sources. I wanted tocontact the guy who had the Milovan and Serena materials on a website, to use in LSoH #30. Nowhere could my wife or I finda contact for him. So we put his blog info, credited it all over the place, and went with it. We just couldn't find any other info onthe dancing duo.Now, if I went for more interpretive articles/reviews/etc., with a larger staff, I'm not sure how I'd prevent possible cut and pastplagiarism. I do two issue a year, pretty much alone in many areas, between working a full time job. Jim Clatterbaugh is alsoa mainly one man bad in the editorial area (although like my Nancy, I would suspect Marion reads the text for typos). Tim and DonnaLucas do a regular 6 times a year pub. With just the two of them - Tim editorially and Donna doing the layout, chasing money, and scut work.. The internet and digital age has, in one way, made it a bit easierto spot plagiarism if you've got the time. Or in the case of Mirek, once informed of what "The Dark Side" was doing, a quest toexpose it. But one or two people trying to do EVERYTHING, and try to maintain some sort of schedule(I've now done 2-100 pagesissues a year for six years, which still amazes me!). If there are years between issues, it IS easier to fine tune them and research everyaspect of them. Still, I would find it difficult to cull all of it out all the time.....
