Quoted message said:Anybody have any idea how long they had those pages up?
At least a week- since when i first saw them. I'd make a guess that they havent been up that long,
though. With Sheldon's material as wide-read and recognizable as it is, it seems like it would
only take a few bike-savvy folk doing some internet research to uncover the 'similarities' between
the pages.
I found it off of google, searching for common bike maintenance keywords, and it spit out fairly
high in google, all things considered.
and yes- they were quick. when i found the site and noticed the sheldon-speak i emailed them first
asking about their glossary (which was what i had been reading). when i didnt get an email back in a
few days, i went back to the site to check-- gone. so i figured that was a good indicator that they
were being lame, and sent the message to thte list.
i thoguht the lamest thing of all was that in addition to copying the pictures and information, they
also copied all of sheldon's witticisms, editorial comments, etc.
maybe sheldon could threaten to sue for royalities. except- since they 'returned' the goods now, he
would only charge a 25% restocking fee. 😉
cheers
