Hughtrain Robbers

Michael O'Connor Clarke must have been looking under the rocks in his garden when he uncovered this cheap Hugh MacLeod knock-off . The similarities are far too great for this imitator of one of the blogosphere's great originals to have emerged by coincidence.

Michael tells me that he pointed Hugh to the site and Hugh responded in "characteristicly sensitive and dry," style. Some people say that plagiarism is a form of flattery.  Personally, I see a gaping void between the originator and the imitator.
