MikeT, granted. Good point.

I would think, however, that blog “protocol,” such as it is, pretty much ensures that those who engage in that stuff are marginalized and even taken to task. I know I do that in comments whenever I see it. Plagiarism does not a good blogger (or anyone) make.

I dunno, though. Perhaps that’s naivete. I wish I could see some hard numbers (or even a reliable sampling) of how egregious the misuse really is.
