'plagiarism', ha. So we have an unreconstructed 'individual authors write
and own texts, anything else is cheating', person here... ;-)
Exams and marking are just sooo previous mode of production...

Did a cc and searched for nazi and debian and funny I came across this
from 2002. Does it remind you of something Mako said here late last year
when talking about freedom and a comparison made to all that free speak
and bush speak!!???
not that I care about originality that much but I actually thought Mako
was telling us something he wrote not just cut and pasting!!!

Godwin's law is not something one can "invoke". It merely states that
given a thread of sufficient length, the probability that one party will
compare the other to Hitler or Nazis approaches 1.
When one party deliberately mentions it, and uses the word "Nazi", then
the situation is abnormal.
Perhaps there should be a corollary, vis:
As a discussion grows, the likelihood of one party muttering about
Godwin's Law also approaches 1.
