No I said I want to give it a five but I can't because one song doesn't fit in that well. No need of an edit.

If you see some review starting with:

 

Another Rush review in which I state Geddy is an amazing bassist. (again)

then you might get suspicious that the author is plagiarising you.


 



    
Why don't I see the obvious? Why?

Oh cool, it wasn't you that wrote those reviews.  I can relax now.

Just explain to them that you're the same person on PA that wrote the original and they may be cool with it.

hey guys.  I just got banned from Sputnik for posting the review I wrote for Amputechture.  I have a different account over there.

Yeah, they have eyes like hawks over there.  Think they'll lift it once they get my e-mail?

Oh and no worries with the link, I am happy to be of assistance.

Thanks for the support, guys. And Tony, thanks for 'pulling rank'. Seems like morrissey is a decent sort - she acted very quickly. Thanks also to her, if she reads this.

I suppose the best thing we could do is to call out the offender on the site in question. If you see this happen, post the links to your original reviews. A little public humiliation could go a long way.

Morrisey has deleted 18 reviews, I guess that will be the lot.

Great work with the link Geck0.


Hopefully case closed...

Where are his Rush reviews? I want to make sure none of mine are plagerised.
