Unethical Asset Manufacturing

[jester]

Hi all,

Seriously, what Jules wrote (below) changes everything, imho.  I was under
the inpression that the book included ENTIRE posts, but brief comments and
the like I don't see a problem with.  Perhaps he should have contacted the
folk whose words he "borrowed" prior to publication, but if everything he
wrote in his defense is true, then perhaps we're all making a mountain out
of...________.
You fill in the blank.
