In a bid to help a fellow Debian user, I wanted to link to a thread I
had been involved in (concerning internet connexions). I googled some
words in it and found the post in the Debian mailing list archives,
which is normal.
I also found a tiny piece of it at this site:
http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/commonproblems1.htm
Search for
it was creating two connections: PPP0 (the right
to find some of the post.
I would normally have no problem with this EXCEPT:
1: It makes no mention of my name. Sorry to say but what ever I write
is mine and I expect to be credited (I am a would-be amateur-author).
2: The page has exactly one and a half sentences of my post (plus what
they call the "answer"). Indeed, it cuts off that half sentence at a
comma (comma splice any one?) and is subsequently out of context
(unless you call the sentence and a half context).
3: This was done not only with out my consent but indeed with out my
knowledge.
I'm writing this because I wish to know the thoughts of other Debian
Users and because I wish to know if any one else is familiar with this
site or has also been put upon it (possibly with out their knowledge.)
I shall also try to send a copy of this E-Mail to the author of the
site. Maybe I'm taking this too far, but I feel rather strongly about
plagiarism and the like. Lastly, I wish to apologies to those among
you feel that this is not the right forum in which to bring up such a
case; I have put an off topic sing before the subject heading in the
hopes of warding off any anger.
I thank you for your time and am eager to hear your thoughts.
