Copyright & net etiquette

It was brought to my attention that someone had taken it upon themselves to copy information & graphics from my web site. I have seen this done to other people's sites many times before & It can happen to you too! This is the problem many webmasters have to deal with on a regular basis when they have people who are jealous their great work.

IT'S CALLED ORIGINALITY !! DON'T COPY & DUPLICATE OTHER WEB SITES WHEN YOU ARE PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF DOING YOUR OWN THING!!!

To anyone who has infringed upon other people's copyrights please realize this...you will be found sooner or later. Someone somewhere will happen upon your site someday & realize that you have lazily stolen & copied the many hundreds of hours work that someone has performed to bring to the entire WWW, useful educational info.

It is one thing to ask permission & use under conditions set forth by the owner/webmaster of the site the info originated from, but to be so selfish is another thing! If you feel so compelled to use another person's work, just email them & ask first & you could simply place the proper credit where it can be seen easily. This will take all of 2 minutes out of your time, it is better than being embarrassed so much, that you will have removed your site from the web altogether. Hey, people make mistakes with good intentions, which is really what I think happened here, but it was taken care of immediately & I will forget it happened!

All OTHER guilty parties know who they are & hopefully they will come clean & do the right thing!
