In case you missed it, the profile on WCKG's website of Opie & Anthony is strikingly similar to the O&A For Dummies summary I wrote for Foundry about a year ago (Visit this Website). Compare the first four paragraphs of my work to WCKG's profile.

I'm not going to hold a grudge. First of all, why take Mel & Co. to court? I don't need the money or have that much time to deal with it. Plus, while I did write O&A4D, it's on a website that I don't own, so it wouldn't be my decision. Again, I'm NOT going to hold anybody liable: in fact, these days, nothing is original on the Internet anymore. Remember the infamous Elian Gonzalez "Wassup" Flash movie about a year ago? It was the product of one entity, but within days, there were hundreds of different copies everywhere.

As far as my error is concerned in O&A4D, understand that it is a work in progress, the first draft was written off of my head (I could have sworn Ant once said he was Sicilian - my bad). And as far as the schooling is concerned, a few months ago, a listener emailed me the correct info, and I forwarded it to the proper authorities to fix up, but I guess it hasn't been resolved yet.

So, don't mean to mislead anybody, and certainly not the new listeners from the new cities picking up the show (btw J.R. Ewing - you're next!) Just trying to support the show. And once again, I hold nobody liable. Besides, it's a way for new listeners to learn - if not mislearn (Ant DIDN'T graduate) information.
