Catching up…
: I’m catching up with a few things I should have mentioned earlier…. Pedram has, at latest counts, 545 comments on this post… Ken Sands, Ryan Pitts, et pioneering al at the Spokesman Review have a bunch of new blogs; Steve Outing will tell you all about them….
: Tom Mangan says Tequila Mockingbird has been the victim of plagiarism. Meanwhile, John Scalzi gives a lesson in how not to steal.
You sure are right about those comments. Pedram has exceeded his bandwidth. What was the post about?
It’s a thank-you note for all those who helped Iranians during the devastating Bam earthquake. My bandwidth is evaporated as the response has been unbelievable by hundreds of people (most of them from inside Iran) echoing the same sentiments. I don’t think I have ever seen anything like it in the blogsphere.
Trying to negotiate weith my host for the site to be up shortly, sorry for it being down and thanks Jeff for noticing the post.
RE: Tequila Mockingbird (great blog name, that!):
“plagerism”?
As in Bob and Barclay Plager, hockey players for the St. Louis Blues in the late 60s and early 70s?
Ironically, the plag-i-a-rist in question hails from St. Louis, (as I do). I’d say his antics warrant a ten-minute major or maybe even a game misconduct.
Ah, I see you’ve made the correction!
