>I think clearly plagiarism in an SI post should not be tolerated. Jeff, I agree. We were being facetious about the "plagiarism". If you consider the source of the "plagiarism", the link contained in this post... exchange2000.com ...then you'll quickly see how nonserious all the plagiarism talk has been. Your idea of a classic, being "something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read", seems a bit too restrictive. According to Webster's dictionary, a classic can also mean "of the highest class; most representative of the excellence of its kind". In regards to Kevin's flaming post for which he won the Kook Award, I do think his post met that criteria of being a "classic". However, in the strict literary sense of your definition, I agree - it leaves a bit to be desired. But the award wasn't meant to be for literary expertise. <g> Ice
