In my previous post, I mentioned that I was not a fan of some method people use to fill content in their blogs. See here:

Steve Blackman left his 2 cents worth in a comment:
"I think you will find they are press releases!
Who's the fool now?"
Not 100% sure what you are trying to say. The points I was trying to make were:
1) Its plagiarism - the definiation of plagiarism (many definitions can be seen here) is:
"Copying someone else's work and then passing it off as one's own"
This is still true as I dont see any credit given. While it may not be illegal (and I never said that) its still plagiarism in my eyes...
2) Why not link - there is enough duplication on the net, and if I want to see a copy of the 'press releases', I'll use Google Cache!
For me, a blog (more definitions can be found here) is about MY / YOUR opinion, views, stance, comments, beliefs etc. An online (and very public ;) dairy. I dont see that happening here...
Never mind - the best part about blogs / RSS feeds is that the end user controls it. Steve - if you like reading press releases regurgitated from around the net, be my guest. I dont, so I right click, delete feed, and will be on my way :)
