My point is that ripping off someone else's stuff, which is breaking the law, mind you, takes no discipline and creates more NOISE on the Internet.
It has nothing to do with how nice I am. But if you're going to put something on the Internet, make it your own instead of simply taking the work of others.
In fact, some idiot actually ripped off the text from my ride pages and put it on his own site. I didn't write it so someone could steal it, I wrote it for visitors of this site. So instead of writing new copy, I had to waste time writing Homestead to tell them that they had a content pirate infringing on my copyright.
I do this stuff for a living, true. But you don't have to be an artist or pro designer to make something useful. Dan's site (www.spiritofthepoint.com) and one of the SFO sites (www.refreshinglook.com) aren't maintained by pros, but the sites have a personality from their ORIGINAL content.
