Not cool paternityzone.com

If you are reading this at paternityzone.com, you should know

1) This content was generated here, under the aegis of Science Blogs.

For the past week, we've been conducting a little experiment with Cognitive Daily. In the past, we've had several readers complain that we don't include the full post in the RSS feed for CogDaily, so last week we published every post in its entirety on RSS (if you don't know what RSS is, I explain…

Razib, This sort of thing would both flatter(in a way) & enrage me if i were a blogger. They've got quite a nerve if they haven't even linked to you or acknowledged you in fashion, in addition to it being flat out web plagiarism.

>they stopped with this post. so i think they got the message. you might try the same tactic.<

Sorry my friend but this is a joke. We wrote a comment for this thread on about the eighth which you chose not to post, that's fine, we understand that you didn't want to be mugged. The fact that you then have the audacity to suggest that we got some kind of "message" is most troublesome. For as long as you make your feed available on syndic8.com you can expect it to be published on other blogs, including ours.
