I picked up a copy of Popular Mechanics on the newsstand today, and in scanning it, I read through the automotive questions letters.
On at least three of the questions, I swear that I have seen the identical posts here on rec.autos.tech. The PM resident guru gave his answers to these question that, I believe, we had all seen and/or responded to before.
Something about this looks funny...Has anyone else picked up this copy and noted the strange similarity of questions??????
Not yet but I'll pick up a copy and take a look.
Obviously, this newsgroup and the auto-questions column will receive very similar questions. Heck, the answers might even be close (for obvious reasons). However, if the questions and answers are almost vertabim, I'd suspect a culling of the newsgroup.
That is exactly what it looks like to me. Maybe not illegal nor unethical, but suspicious. Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed the similarities.
