I wrote a column on etiquette/manners for over 12 years and it amazed me how many times people would copy my content word for word...even the ones that were incorrectly spelled! Of course it was in the days of newspaper. Credit is always appreciated, however do remember the highest form of flattery, someone said...is imitation.

I have two bots on my blog - My Natural furniture and another one whose name escapes me. if it is a bot then forget it - everyone knows it is just bs. but a real thief, go for it and reveal them. And as for another blogger claiming theft - it is highly bogus. Just ask the accused. there is no ownership of finding a photo on a web site and claiming it is yours and only yours to repost. we're all thieves if that is the case. don't quit!!!!!cotedetexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421509668956556785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876281636657645444.post-69965765418394250952009-08-16T22:50:33.028-04:002009-08-16T22:50:33.028-04:00thanks for stopping by!

There are people who set up dozens of blogs. They copy our posts and surround them with Google ads to profit off them. <br /><br />I've read that we should report them to Google. I haven't done that yet, but I'm tempted (if I can figure out how the reporting is done).<br /><br />I figure they can take my content, but they can't take my readers, who know the real thing when they see it. It doesn't take long to figure out that those blogs are fakes. It's hard to imagine they get enough traffic to make it worth the trouble!Julia @ Hooked on Houseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937060849774403002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876281636657645444.post-17031004114910665832009-08-16T21:39:18.497-04:002009-08-16T21:39:18.497-04:00What?

They are always going to be there- it seems sometime that we never move beyond the grade school days- who knew the class of wooden(my day)desks was a microcosm of the adult world. A public scolding could be in order- I have seem this from our favorite bloggers done and it can sometimes be invaluable and cleansing- it is whatever is best for you. Your writing is completely authoritative and valued. The class needs you. laP.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876281636657645444.post-62757754813942336622009-08-16T18:30:00.060-04:002009-08-16T18:30:00.060-04:00On the subject of your content I only read you, Ae...On the subject of your content I only read you, Aesthete and sometimes Eddie Ross and Mrs. Blandings.
