And in a world of copy-and-paste, plagiarizing is that much easier. Let us know if you make it any further with these guys.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220826081355602003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27606211.post-31470612151865277042010-12-07T14:25:46.363-05:002010-12-07T14:25:46.363-05:00Good on you, Dick!

I've also considered contacting the local newspaper, in which case names will be named. For now, I'm trying to resolve this privately. I'd like to encourage the principal to behave like an adult and I'll consider myself successful if that happens.Dick Margulishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169512038331158003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27606211.post-8451295966168396512010-12-04T14:30:43.959-05:002010-12-04T14:30:43.959-05:00I hope you update us if they reply again.

It's one of those "everyone should read" books. I learned a tremendous amount (and I have put it into practice). Dick, I can see that you already knows your stuff, apology-wise. You may not get the ultimate satisfaction you seek from the offender (and his/her apologists), but you have produced a deeply satisfying record and commentary of this, er, episode. I'm going to share the link with John Kador. I know he'll appreciate it!Kristihttp://www.picturesandwords.comnoreply@blogger.com
