It is pathetic that this sort of thing goes on with people who are supposed to be professionals in their field and one would think they would know and abide by the rules of journalism, and would want to have professional pride in their abilities to collect and present information properly. Well, it does not pay to plagiarize information because I am sure that after pasting my email to the L on the pages of their newspaper, the Observer did not take time to go back and plagiarize the follow up posting to the L on the same topic. I hope they will go collect that follow-up too and print it, and if they have any professional integrity, they will also print an apology to all of the people whose emails they printed without their knowledge and consent, and which they did not bother to identify as not their own. WILL THE OBSERVER PRINT THE RESPONSE FROM THE PEOPLE WHOSE EMAILS THEY PRINTED BY COLLECTING THEISE RESPONSES FROM THE SAME SOURCE, NAMELY THE L. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
