Tony, webmaster et al.

Please check out Soph's 'review' of Snatch on the DVD Forum. Looks awfully familar? Should be, considering I actually wrote the original review.

hm!

Find the magazine, or ask them to produce the review (or tell us where to find it), then compare the two reviews. Simple as that.

While we're on the subject, I'm having some problems with someone accusing me of copying my last winning post from a magazine.

That's been going on a day or two now and I've held off claiming until someone from SR gives their views. A couple of regulars have responded in my defence, though, which is very nice.

I'm at work till 11pm tonight and it will be past 12pm when I get back, so the likelyhood of me being on MSN tonight, or at all this week, is nill. Sorry!

At least I've got net access at work, so expect more postings on FOG! (in between working of course!)

No, I have total confidence pb was first, and though I read SmokedKipper`s comments, that was my fault during the transfer of pbs review to that forum.

Anyway, the only "proof" is to find out when pb posted. Otherwise you can`t make the concrete.

However, my vote is on pb being the original.

No, I can understand why this may be a thought ssxpro, but look at her(?) other entry below that. It's a blatently copied review along with everything else.

This might mean that the poster in question has got problems with posting and didn't realise this was happening, or it may well be a wind up by someone else on this site, not a very funny one mind you. But just in case...

I've posted my findings in the DVD forum.

Tony, you might want to draw Ali's attention to them as well. It's by no means concrete evidence but it does draw atention to how (and maybe why) the posts aren't totally identical.

I have faith in pb, as he is a regular, and often posts very good reviews, however, there is still a (very small) possibility that its the other way round (No offense pb, I`m sure you were first, but its silly to jump to conclusions).
There is no time of entry for pb`s review, so it can`t be compared by us to soph`s 16:20 post. It will be up to the admins to tell us who got it in first.
