And I always appreciate when the author points out the money quote. There's content, and then there's original content,,,Two different things. Having a fresh take on anything is tough in this world where information travels at the speed of light. One trick is to concentrate on fresh subjects and cutting edge trends. Your take can't be too stale, if the subject is only 24 hours old (Writing about the swine flu epidemic during the last three days, for instance). I can also appreciate the "rip and read" reference. It brings to mind a great visual of somebody standing in front of the AP teletype at a radio of TV station in the 1970's or before. Today it's more like "cut & paste". Eric:
