Who was the author of this piece?It wasn't The poster .I'm familiar with the posters style and phrasing and the usage of the English language from the Dell thread 8 months ago.Until I know the author I'm not interested.I will say this,its not an isolated case of posting a piece with no credits in order to create a false impression of the posters intellect.I am not saying that the author,in this case, did it deliberately.Perhaps it was an oversight.The same type of questionable post occurred on this thread this weekend.This type conduct has a name.Its called plagiarism.Theft of anothers thoughts is just plain wrong.
