Hacks and posers

Posted on December 20, 2007 by Doug Powell
A number of groups -- universities, websites, whatever -- take our stuff and re-circulate it as their own. It's annoying but in the end, meaningless. They don't create anything; they talk rather than do.

Any problems, just e-mail me, dpowell@ksu.edu.
