Right - That's the part that irks the most. The fact that these idiots write blogs as if they are so-called 'experts' and that others should take advice from them. Some of them do know what they are talking about, but most don't, and their content is pure rubbish. How this can turn into a full-time business is beyond me, but the credit card kickbacks have to be the driving force.

They do just take everything straight off here and try to turn into $$ for themselves at the expense of others.

That being said, FT is (beyond) huge now, and I'm a young guy who hasn't been around forever. It's easy to see the influx of noobs and the fact that they somehow stumbled on this site and told everyone they know and so on. It is quite ridiculous some of the naivete being thrown around in the RGN thread......

In the ideal world - we could just sue the blogs for stealing our posts off FT. It would be very funny if the bloggers had to actually come up with all their original content, not being able to take anything from FT.
