            Yeah wouldn't recommend clicking Googles "I'm feeling lucky" on that one. Was going to put a warning in my sig. saying don't Google but of course that would just have the opposite effect.

                          We'd better discuss that offline, this is no Lounge matter.

                          No, not all - but you just get a "sense" that some of them are not quite what they purport to be: it can be font, a change in writing style, word choice, or just the images chosen. Or perhaps a eighth sense... Then it's generally a random sentence thrown at Google and "Bingo!" you have the source. Or in some cases "sources" - some of the impressive articles are copied loads of times! Sorry to reply here, but the would-be article has been closed, so this was the only way to reach you.

                                        ....Can we take this offline, when they mean "Can we discuss this outside of this meeting", is going to get their head stamped on....offline.

                                          No, not all - but you just get a "sense" that some of them are not quite what they purport to be: it can be font, a change in writing style, word choice, or just the images chosen. Or perhaps a eighth sense... Then it's generally a random sentence thrown at Google and "Bingo!" you have the source. Or in some cases "sources" - some of the impressive articles are copied loads of times! Sorry to reply here, but the would-be article has been closed, so this was the only way to reach you.
