Everyone (newbies to the list especially):
Just a reminder about the purpose of this list and some of the things
that happen on here you should be aware of:
1. This list's purpose is discussing items related to web standards.
Sometimes the lines of what fits here are blurred and thats ok.
I've been on the list for 2 years now (I think) and I've seen
many, many topics come and go that range from appropriate to
completely inappropriate.
2. Occasionally off-topic discussions go so far that the admins have
to come in and give everyone a "knock it off!". It happens.
Sometimes new members get upset when scolded for such things. Its
no big deal. Many of the members on this list are extremely
knowledgeable and have been on this list for a long time and are
frequent contributors and help A LOT of newbies.
3. These same people have seen many many newbies come and go, many
with the same OT discussions they want to throw out at everyone -
like in this instance copycat sites. That topic does not belong
here. Plain and simple.
4. Grandma used to say, "You'll catch more flies with honey than with
vinegar." In this case, the veteren member could not have put the
OT reminder more nicely. In fact in 2 years its the most clear
and pleasant way I may have seen, yet...
5. Then another global round of thousands if emails need to get
generated so the other member can complain in the manner they were
addressed. Then this email....(there will be a bunch more too)....
6. My point? This isn't Myspace. Leave the snippy remarks at the
hair salon where they belong. This is supposed to be a community
of clever minds and intelligent discussions - regarding web standards.
Sorry - I just couldn't help myself from writing this post. I was once
the snippy newbie to who yelled at members everytime I was mildly
insulted....it happens but hopefully we can rise above it.

Yes Adam, you're right - I will remember that for future posts...
Maybe you can remember your social graces when replying.
Quoting Adam Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
...and this is related to web standards how?
I don't mind these posts - but please mark them [OT]

Subject: [WSG] Copycat site
This is the first time I've come across such an occurence naturally
in the online world.
I'm sure it happens all the time - this one seems just blatant to
the point of having the same tabs in the navigation....
