- therein 9y agoI'm okay with it. I hadn't seen the last time it was posted and I found it very interesting.
- paxcoder 9y agoWow, nice catch, how did you do it?

- emmelaich 9y agoSimHacker and DonHopkins are the same person. Check out SimHackers history and Don's site; he is a hacker of the SIMs I don't know why he uses two accounts!
- DonHopkins 9y agoI don't use them at the same time: I switched over to using my own name instead of an old alias. Whenever I plagiarize myself, I try to check the links and refine the text to keep it relevant. Just posting a link to an old article requires less effort for me, but more effort for other people to switch context, navigate and read. And a server's disk space and bandwidth aren't as precious as a reader's time and effort. It was not my intention to trigger mdekkers into having fits about SJWs, or shocking paxcoder who is not a gay supporter.
- eriknstr 9y agoPersonally I think it's great that you reposted your comment. I suggest however that when you do, you add a line to the bottom that says something along the line "This comment was based on an earlier comment I made X days ago using another account." when you do just to keep people from accusing you of plagiarizing others.
