Yesterday, it came to the attention of the authors of this blog, Angel and myself, via a tip from Mr. Fix, that this blog was being copied word for word and picture for picture. I checked out the site, http://www.feedagg.com/feed/119201/1053-KiSS-Fm-ViP-Blog, and at first, I was royally pissed that someone would copy this site without permission AND make money off our hard word via selling ad-space.

But upon further inspection I found that it was actually a compliment to all the hard work that I, Angel, and our contributing blog posters put into this ever growing blog.

According to the mantra on their home-page, "The goal of FeedAgg.com is simple; find the best blogs and news feeds on the internet and then rate and sort them through the independent actions of our visitors."

Unfortunately, the grade they gave the blog was only 50.5 out of 100, a D-. Hell, had I known we were going to be marked on this shit, I would have tried harder! Not bad for someone who often wonders, who, besides myself and Angel, actually reads this crap......thus, the reason I installed the weekly polls.

Speaking of which, Poll results for "Not including your computer monitor, but including your crappy 14" B&W TV at your cottage, how many working TV's do you own?", based on a record 164 responses....

41 Votes(25%)......3
40 Votes(24%)......2
34 Votes(20%)......4
20 Votes(12%)......5
19 Votes(11%)......6 or more
