I don't agree. Monkomatic Cited where the posts came from, and did not claim that they where his own work, so this is not plagurisum.

These posts are gems, that have been mostly forgotten. Monkomatic stumbed across them by chance, and thought they deserved a wider audence. I agree. Had he put links on his home node, or posted them on chatterbox then hardly anyone would have seen them. If he had posted a short meditation with just the links, and not the node text then many people would have missed them. By posting the full text everyone who visits the Meditations page gets to enjoy them. Monkomatic has done a public service by re-posting them.

In my view, this thread should be front paged, so that all can see these jems.
