We have been paid the ultimate compliment, a piece that I wrote and was publish in The Post arrived in my e-mail inbox as a chain e-mail joke.
I "penned" a stern e-mail in response to my friend who sent the mail to me claiming I had been plagarised, no-one would believe I had written the item in question until I directed them to the original on H2G2.
A quick word with some other friends and my wife revealed that my piece about Beer Scooters had been doing the rounds for a couple of months.
I think I can class this as my fifteen minutes of fame even though I was not credited.
Cool Eh!
Ultimate compliment!

It's get worse when you are trying to research an article and put some key words in certain search engine and come up with h2g2 articles you have written on related subjects in the first three positions.
Ultimate compliment!

That is indeed an amazing thing to happen 
Even more amazing was that I checked this forum yesterday about an hour before the new smileys were released and your 'no-one' had changed into n
ne!
Guess who cottoned on much earlier than everyone else that the release was imminent.
