- calinazaret, on 06/06/2008, -3/+13Another AWESOME post by Reem. One thing about writing awesome posts is that other want in on some of that awesome. It's the curse of being great.
- Surferess, on 06/06/2008, -0/+14Great points made here. I am a web site designer and I once had a person copy an entire web site and just change the name on the top. It sucks when people take your content.

I hate thieving. :( Whenever I have something stolen from me (belongings, not creations- I'm not that cool..) I get so upset about it. Like I am surprised that people would be so mean. But I shouldn't be, ya know? People are jerks! Sorry about your stolen content!
