A couple of weeks ago, I was clearing out ancient YMs and started reading them (the way you do). I read a piece on Southwold in a YM of 3 or 4 years ago, and then chucked it out.
Yesterday, I read the piece in this latest YM about Southwold. Now the pictures are new, but some of the text was very familiar. Phrases like the one about the piece of skate for tea, the bit about the sculpture on the pier, the open greens in the town ... in lots of places, I'm pretty sure that a lot of the text was simply copied from the previous article. I can't compare them, because I chucked the old one away, and anyway it's a bit too nerdish even for me. Nowhere was the previous article cited - students get shot for doing this sort of thing in their essays!
YM - are you taking shortcuts?
