If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Personally, I would leave the member alone at this point. He/she claims to have no connection to axolot and the feeling I'm getting is that the member is just trying to make a (biased) comparison.

Fairly sure we've seen this guy before - Resurrects old(er) posts and his answers have a link to his (off-topic) website in them ?

Also, this one[^] (posted 13 hours ago according to Google) seems to be copied from here[^] (22 hours ago).

The images even point back to the original article. D'Oh! | :doh:

From this: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=1563561[^]
Has identical text to his closed (I assume for plagiarism, that avatar looks rather familiar) article here: Web API by oData[^]
And chunks of the text appear in discussions here: https://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/discussions/457028[^] from 2013.

On balance, I suspect plagiarism. Again. Sigh | :sigh:

I had words with him about this yesterday. I even put links to some of the articles he plagiarised, and pointed out to him that I knew exactly where he'd plagiarised them from. Sadly, the exact same plagiarised text is in place in this article.
