I finally had a chance to check this site out. Interesting, especially the
text about the production history of the Vitesse. Wait a minute...that
text looks familiar. Where have I seen it before? OH YEAH, on the VTR web
site, under the Triumph Herald & Vitesse section. Maybe the fact that I
penned said text is why it looks so familiar, huh? It's about a 99.2%
verbatim "quote" (except for lack of acknowledgement of said quote). :-)
The real tip-off is the fact that I have, for almost five years since I
first had that text put up on the then-fledgling VTR site, left in place
a glaring error of fact. (Free beer/drink/soda -- your choice -- to the
first person on this list who can spot the error. Clue: it has to do with
wheels.)
I think I will send a nice e-mail note to "jmcadory@earthlink.net" and
suggest that he either a: remove that text and place a direct link to the
Herald/Vitesse pages of VTR, or b: give proper credit to VTR and place a
direct link to the Herald/Vitesse pages of VTR. I'm not particularly
angry, but the copyright notice is fairly obvious throughout the VTR site.
