Shrimperzone copyright?

I didn't know where to post this.

But doing a google search for ex shrimpers tonight a article poped up about 3 ex shrimpers being given p45s on the little gazette site, which I rarely visit. I was quite surprised to see my Leon Constantine post made two days ago reproduced word for word by 'exiled shrimper' in a news item published yesterday.

I'm not sure whether to be flattered that he thought my post worthy of coping, or annoyed he didn't give me a credit.

He played for two clubs that went down this season (Northampton and Cheltenham), repeating his trick of a few years back when he turned out for Peterborough and Torquay the year they both got relegated.

He actually played for two clubs that went down this season along with Cheltenham, repeating his trick of a few years back when he turned out for Peterborough and Torquay the season they both went down!

I think it was his rather careful and discreet addition of an exclamation at the very end of the paragraph that deceived me from thinking he copied it from you.

Sneaky or what.



:D

My view is that he has discretely and carefully added punctuation at the end of the paragraph. This hoodwinked me into thinking he hadn't just lifted what you've written.

A little bit dodgy, wouldn't you say.
