I do not, and never have, contributed to something.ie

Not one to go jumping on the band-wagon here, but a post on mulley.net, and mamanpoulet.com relating to the website something.ie prompted me to write this after having a cursory look at the site.

Releases by the Limerick Leader newspaper which appear on the something.ie website are NOT being submitted by me.

For the record, I have never written a post for, or given permission to something.ie

In the past, something.ie scraped posts from a site I used to own called limerickblogger.org.  I never gave permission for them to use any content from that site on their own site.  The amount of trackbacks from something.ie at the time resulted in me marking the phrase something.ie as a blacklisted phrase so as to stop between five and ten spammy emails coming to my inbox every day.

Now, as you can see from the image above, they are attributing content that wasn’t even written by me, to me.
