Just finished this. I'd agree with pretty much everything Ashlea said. The first two thirds I really liked, and couldn't wait to get back to the book, but the ending was a bit meh. Ahhh see, I thought that me not realising stuff was me just being incredibly slow. But it just means it was...

Some argue that the biggest challenge we face today is the threat of global warming. Yet others think that its all a myth and take no action. Without delving into the politics ( :p ), what do you think? Do you even care, or has it been talked about so much that you've simply switched off?

Why the devil wouldn't you want to wear a helmet? Really? Is it such a bother?

Yep, thanks Darren.

I'm sure someone can correct me on the details (Ice...? :D ) but as far as I'm aware you have to wear a seatbelt by law if one's available. As for my personal opion, yes I think it should be a legal requirement to wear a seatbelt in a car, no matter whether you're the driver or passenger. I...

Heh, yes. I forgot to include the link. I think I should probably log off and go and lie down.

Vaguely related - did you see this announcement Irene? I had managed to completely miss it until someone pointed it out.

Whatever way you look at it, you can be pretty sure anyone who's been around here recently will think twice before plagiarising. Which is only a good thing.

I'm finding it hard to believe people actually don't care about plagiarism. Just coming to the end of my degree, the evils of plagiarism have been drummed into us repeatedly. I know someone who was thrown off his course as a result of his lifting academic work and passing it off as his own...

Ahh, well you're easily pleased. I check up on all these sites people link to in the sigs and so forth, keeps the essay boredom at bay. Sometimes. Anyway, I might tack my comments on the end of novella's thread, seems a more appropriate place.

If you don't think it's such a big crime, why do you include Copyright 2005 at the end of your blog entries? And why does Martin's blog have a similar Copyright statement at the bottom? To me that indicates that you do care about your work being nicked, and well, it is a crime. Or do you add...

That is outlined in the Membership Agreement, and it's ok apparently.

Lifting paragraphs is one thing. Not acknowledging them is another thing entirely.

Nightmare. I would avoid it at all costs. Our dog whines when she's in the car, very quietly, but loud enough to make you want to stop the car and throw her out. Which is probably what she'd aiming for thinking about it!

Then yes, it is beside the point. :D Martin just accept that you are reigning Spam King and deal with it.

Do reviews in the library count towards your post count?

Quality not quantity Irene :p
