As of 1/9/2009 they have indeed done so (and it appears to be GONE from their site). Thanks for the info on this -- without your mention of it I doubt I ever would have stumbled upon it. @Paul D:

I don't know exacty why that podcast seemed to call out to me to listen to it again (I *rarely* listen to any podcast more than once), but it sure seems appropo of this situation to me. Funny how some things work sometimes. @To All:

You can't call him lazy though. As you pointed out, he had to put in a significant amount of effort to create that post. (This does certainly _NOT_ mean that I condone his action in any way !!!!!) What I don't get is why he didn't spend that time/effort to create some original content. >This guy wins my Douchebag of the year award.Mine too; who was the previous front-runner for that award before this guy rocketed to the top< Well, I've seen some Sarah Palin videos on YouTube and ..... nah, let's not discuss politics here :-) One Jeez, he’s a thief, no question about that.
