They didn't bother to reply. It's fine with me though. It just shows how professional those guys are. :) I did email ST. They didn’t bother to reply. It’s fine with me though.

And if he did make a reference to a blog (as he did mentioned a blogger), then why haven't he properly include a source for his references? And being a CNM student yourself, a good amount of work you deal with in the future will be intellectual property. If you don't fight for your exclusive rights now as a blogger, then how are you going to defend your exclusive rights in the future? Aaron,

That's why they don't attribute quotes from Blogosphere. As far as the Establishment (and that includes SPH) is concerned, Blogosphere is just one huge monolithic entity which is full of half-truths and conspiracy theories. =) *Tsk* Any regular ST reader will tell you that bloggers are simply not credible.

Well, you can check up which school the reporter come from. Hope that the reporter is not from your school. Don't really want this reporter to be any role model in your school. Or maybe, it's the editor. Hmm, which school of thought he/she is from? Dear Aaron,

I don't claim ownership over a generic phrase, but it wasn't a very nice thing to do, especially when the reporter obviously read about the entry and then wrote about it. I honestly felt the reporter was being lazy, but that's my opinion. Hi Bart,
