I did not get a chance to post the CoRE #27 here today - My office was busy today and I had alot of catching up to do (ya know, you take one weekend off and EVERYTHING happens). 

But, when I finally got a chance to overlook some of the posts - It was brought to my attention that one of the articles MIGHT not have been an original.  I did hesitate in my decision to post - I thought this out .. carefully.  IF someone had the guts to plagiarize an article - and then boldly submit it to the carnival, they should be called out on it.  Only fair?  no?  So, here is the thing - I do NOT want this to take away from the rest of the original posters and their articles, but I will post the Not so original with the original article.  Let this be known that stealing others articles in HIGHLY frowned upon and I think attention should be brought to it. 

Here are a few of my favorites, to view the entire list (all 30 of them) head over to My 1st Million At 33.

Next weeks CoRE will be held at the BloodHoundBlog

Bill - thanks, I was quite disturbed by it.  But, I do want the others to get recoginition..

Maureen - Here is my question - if you know of an actual plagerized article - why wouldn't you call them out on it?  Why keep them anonomous?  They deserve to be embarassed.

I was kind of surprised that the host left it up soooo long. Like half the day after I notified him.  He put up a couple of new posts after, so I presume he saw my comment.  Whatever.  I think the whole blog is copied crap.  I don't think the host is a regular RE blogger, and that might be part of the problem.  Not suggesting that new people can't host, but they should at least blog about real estate, imho.

Thanks for putting me on your list, Christine.
