Dear Pak Bambang,  

They always said about the wonder of the internet world, and yes, I admitted it. Lots of examples happened and many things got connected. For instance, this email you forwarded below about the said "…………".

Have you realized that the email was originally come from me? Nope, the file attachment was not mine, and of course, I do not mind to see it evolve around so many people. As a matter of fact, be my guest. However, I did modify the email to enable it to better reflect my experience, to share what I thought, and especially to urge those fellows who is still in doubt, to take more active participation in this "blessing" (quote-unquote).

Nevertheless, what disturbed me the most was, your careless act to copy and paste my shared experience stated in the email below - just like that. Thus gave misperception to those who has later read it, that you are indeed its original writer. In spite of that, there are quite a number of people who could instantly recognize that the lines were mine; since they are regular visitors to my blog, and thus could instantly recognize my writings. Concerned people like these who has contacted me to confirm me about things like yours.

Maybe you think that was not much to be fussed around, and believe me sir, neither do I. Yet I took the chance and thus am exercising my rights to do so; to express my deep concern about this. And to let you know that I am. Thank you,

Regards,
TLT

PS:

1.      The email above was sent to a stranger named Bambang S…… from a certain Logistic company who has forwarded an email originated from me that perhaps could mislead people who read it that it was his writing.

2.      I don’t wanna use the word “plagiarism”, but prefer it as “misleading”.

3.      Previous flame about plagiarism was raged here: New Witch on the Blog!

Halo Andrey, thanks for your findings. It is a very observant of you! Really appreciate it. It's not just simple a near miss as you thought, but an act of PLAGIARSM, indeed.

You miss one important point, though. The posting you mentioned by referring to Monaliza’s site above was as a matter of fact was firstly posted on Tina's blog here, on Sep 6, 2006. Whilst ms Monaliza posted what she claimed as her own article here, on Sep 8, 2006 – thus it’s a 2-day late. That would be our 1^st evidence.

The 2^nd evidence would be pretty simple and logic; by comparing the article wrote by those involved parties. We could always tell the difference between them; the original writers, versus ones who performs the plagiarsm. Be it on the writing style, the tone of the article wrote, the basic principles or the personal idealism shouted, the personal or favourites quotations mentioned or the specific symbols used, sometimes also by their signature mistypo or grammatical errors (hey, people usually repeat the same mistakes all over again without ever realising not even once!), and so on. Even this kind of evidences could also be applied to those whose merely might not a plagiarist, but just want to make something similar. Yes, the smells of the rats would be that strong!

Last but not least, comes this arguably the strongest evidence of all; I have confirmed Monaliza’s site to Tina, the original writer. And Tina plainly denied that it’s her other blog nor account. She even went further by proclaimed that she never has a multiply.com account. Case closed. Thanks for confirming.  

From those arguments, now you shall know the truth. The witch shall reveal herself out from the darkness. Thanks for inquiring, anyway.

Conclution:

Plagiarism is merely another way to say:

-     I adore you sooo much! ..(thus) I wanna be (like) you!

-     I know I weren’t you and even can’t be you, that’s why I copy cat you. Sorry!

-     Catch me if you can! The founder the keeper!
