Thanks Windy.  :D I've saved it in my 'favourites.' The difficult weed section looks interesting.





EILEEN.


Life is like nectar sweet but sometimes sticky.

Not a site I'd have much confidence in myself :(

OK - I have an interest; their plagiarism - a whole section lifted (cut-and-paste) from my website :( ;   no polite request, acknowledgement,  attribution, link, anything.  Hmm, nor yet an apology or any action - ah, but I shouldn't complain; according to their policy on Intellectual Property, I "may, however, download or print a single copy for (my) own non-commercial off-line viewing."  Cheeky!

But it's not just from mine - 7 of 10 pages I looked at appear to be lifted from others' websites.

Then I can't find out whose site this is - and combined with some of the "odd" offers they have?  Are their sales practices any stronger than their editorial ethics?  

Disgruntled I am.  All best - Gavin

Oh, goodness me, definitely not, windy :) .  I'm sorry if it came across that way. 

I am a "bit miffed" about THEM (and a tad jaundiced ??? ) - but that's something I follow up with their webmaster.

All best wishes - Gavin
