Maybe if I acknowledged my sources? Didn't some poor hack at the New York Times have a plagiarism issue last year. That's the problem with t'interweb, there's no escape, no hiding place and no point trying to pass off the work of others as your own. Just found it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayson_Blair On a related note. I was proof-reading a extremely turgid brochure for a senior exec in my last company. After pages of irrelevant business buzz words I suddenly found myself reading flowing, intelligent prose. You'll know what I did next. Yes a quick copy and paste into google found me reading the same text in wikipedia. How we laughed when he was fired Regards, Lorne Hamill Director Sheesh Shari

That way, if people look for you with that misspelling, they still find you.
