What looked like 2 separate articles (or rather, they had distinctly different authors) but they were essentially the same article, but did either of them write the original? perhaps not.Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825564497920015595.post-17623560840868379132010-09-29T22:04:06.168+01:002010-09-29T22:04:06.168+01:00Rob - You make a good point.

The staff of newspapers have been cut back, they're under tight deadlines, a lot of stuff is syndicated now, and press releases are designed to be rejigged and/or printed as is; easy to take same line with blog posts. It was just strange to read it and then it to dawn on me why I had an unsettled feeling.Rob Kitchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567424969308636082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825564497920015595.post-25756218851501432362010-09-29T21:41:21.983+01:002010-09-29T21:41:21.983+01:00In a word, yep.
