plagiarize
Don't ever forget the words of a maestro on this subject:
Bad artists copy. Great artists steal.

: "Plagiarise, let no one else's work evade your eyes."
I particularly like his instruction, "-- but make sure you call it research!"
BTW, my favourite has to be the delightfully gruesome "Irish Folk Song" (or some such title) - Rikkety-Ticketty-Tin

Rikkety-Ticketty-Tin
Ooh! I heard that at the same place I did Cool Water!
Can't recall it exactly just now, but it is hair-raising:
builds up the suspense, and just creeps you out with that
slow, inexorable refrain.

>Better to be plagiarized twice than never quoted.
I thought I'd take this opportunity to quote wseiber "Better to be plagiarized twice than never quoted".

I enjoy the fact that my real identity is not known to the casual reader. I'd hate someone I worked with to read the board and argue with me in the real world about things I may have said in the virtual world. In some ways it offers a parallel universe where it is possible to behave slightly differently to the way one might be expected to behave in the real world.
I think it would be hard to behave in a way which was completely out of character but we all have the ability to play different roles in different groups.
Part of the adventure in life is to be allowed to take risks. I have considered letting my "character" die, so I can come back as someone else but I think I have been around too long now and it would feel fraudulent. On the other hand ....

>Suggestions which might be considered touchy-feely by men.
I have worked with quite a few people in the counselling world and some of the most touchy-feely people I have met have been men!
I've read "Men are from Mars etc..." and can think of lots of instances where both sets of behaviour have been displayed in couples but the roles have been crossed over.
I'd like to think that RhubarbCommando is right and gender doesn't matter ... but then I think would a man have cared about the subject so much to have said that?

I thought I'd take this opportunity to quote wseiber "Better to be plagiarized twice than never quoted".
Or to quote jmh: "Better to be plagiarised twice than never quoted".
This has now become research, promising to develop into a fine list of references for my Log.D. dissertation.

In reply to:
a boy, playing a female role, who then gets disguised as a man
And if the screenplay of "Shakespeare in Love" had been based around another play we could have had a female pretending to be a male pretending to be a female pretending to be a male. Or did they just think this would make the audience's brains hurt too much?

Jo
Wouldn't have you figured for a masquerader here. Do you really think there's that much of a difference between jmh and Jo the Scottish Boudicca (or whatever it is you are in 'real' life)?
I tend to be 'myself' (whatever that may be) on all Boards/e-mails etc. Perhaps I'm not adventurous enough. Or perhaps it would just make me feel like a sneak. I dunno.

>Scottish Boudicca
How nice, I'd like to be a Scottish Boudicca. I'll just go and brush up on my scary faces, I'm a bit low on woad. Unfortunately I'm not Scottish, merely English (cf Canadian v United Statesian conversation).
