Hello!! I'm new at access and there's is an article by Arvin Meyer for
beginners that is references in Google Groups but I can't seem to find
the original post with the article's URL. Does anyone know where I can
find that article, or why the thread appears to be missing from the
archives?
Here's the link: http://groups.google.com/group/comp....efcc8902bc78ed
Thanks!

Somebody jerked it from Usenet. The article was cribbed from Microsoft help
files as I remember and it caused a big stink. Meyer had to quit this
newsgroup because of it. But you're not missing anything. Meyer wasn't a
very a intelligent or original guy like most MVPs.
So you're saying Meyer plagiarized? That is hard to believe. He doesn't
have any history of that. His web site shows good business acumen. It
looks pretty kosher to me.

John,
Ignore anything posted by XMVP. It is just another alias for Don
Mellon. Longtime newsgroup disrupter.
He's getting lazy, though. He actually posted from a vnet computer,

To be completely honest you should admit to your role in supporting Meyer's
plagiarism. I just re-read the referenced thread and you don't come across
very well. Also you should be careful about attributing anonymous posts to
a particular individual. You don't know who "XMVP" is anymore than I do.
There are probably a million users on Vision Net which makes your statement
look really dumb.
BTW, I just checked Arvin's web site and he's still up to his old tricks!

There's no way to know who copied from whom. It's quite possible
that the second is copied from Arvin's, or that both copied from
some third source that is no longer in Google.
I checked the Wayback Machine (archive.org), and Arvin's site goes
back only to 2001, while the other one goes back to 1999, but that
doesn't mean a thing, since Arvin used to operate from a different
website, the address of which I don't recall.
So, your accusation of copying here is unproven.
Well, somebody copied, but it's impossible to say who copied from
whom o wether one or both based the text on a third source, perhaps
even one that was intended as an example for emulation.

it is posted from teranews -- one of only a few news servers which hide the
posting host. You are truly disgusting and disreputable, and seem determined
to demonstrate that you are.
Presence on that list is, indeed, proof positive that the person was awarded
the Most Valuable Professional (MVP) designation by Microsoft. There is also
an explanation of the MVP award and program. Anyone who is interested will
find both Arvin and me on the list. They will not find "Sherwood Wang"

was written for Microsoft, it's not really stealing anyone else's

That article has been heavily edited by Microsoft content editors several

may have been by the editors who split it and made it larger.
I don't think it can be just swept under the rug because it's done

I don't think any of it was plagiarized by the editors, I know that my
content was written from an outline that was approved and edited by
Microsoft. The editors appear to have reworded and added about a quarter of
it. I wrote most of the content of the first 10 items and the 12th item.
Microsoft edited most of the rest out of content that I provided, IOW, they
split topics up and made new ones then added content. They also added some

fit their web format. The other article that I wrote on their website wasn't
as heavily edited, but they did add quite a bit to it. There is quite a bit
of difference in the writing styles between the 2 articles, except for the
section that they added.
The article above is an example of over-zealous editors wanting to please
their bosses. I've had editors that do nothing more than occasionally change
a sentence, and others that make me jump through hoops rewriting. The editor
who handled this article, just rewrote it without sending the content back
for approval. I can recognize many of my phases, so it wasn't a totally
drastic change.

OK. I plagiarized your email address. Big deal.
> Well, somebody copied, but it's impossible to say who copied from whom o wether one or both based the text on a third source, perhaps
even one that was intended as an example for emulation.
An honest man, upon reading these accusations, would have attempted to
explain the plagiarism, either by pointing out that the other site
plagiarized or stating that he was unaware of the fraud because someone
designed the site for him. But instead explaining his actions, Meyer tries
to divert attention from them by attacking "XMVP". The ad hominem tactic is
transparent to any idiot, even an MVP.

My site was built in October of 1999 here in Florida (check the

still exists although it redirects to my domain:
www.mindspring.com/~datastrat/index.html
The WayBack Machine doesn't know anything about that website,
though.
What was your esinet.net URL? I checked
http://esinet.net/~datastrat/ in the WayBack Machine, but it didn't
come up.
I don't remember where all the content came from because some of
it was supplied by esinet, some was written by me, and there were
pieces which came from other sources. The one that I do remember
originating from another source was one or 2 of the bullets in the

FrontPage rewrote them all to June of last year when I did some
site work. So there you have everything I can tell you. You can
believe what you want.
I don't believe you copied. I felt it was important to show that you
can't always tell who copied from whom, and the dates don't always
tell you everything, since comparing your current domain to this
other one in the WayBack Machine archives doesn't actually involve
your earlier websites, which I knew existed before you created your
present one.
It's possible that I could do a close textual analysis of the
changes between the two documents and figure out exactly which was
copied from which, but that only works when there's a pattern of
errors introduced in the copy, and it has to be a certain kind of
error to prove transmission.
This is one of the things musicologists do, looking at a collection
of manuscripts transmitting the same piece of music, and then
comparing the readings in them to figure out which was copied from
which.
It doesn't work quite as well with modern writing, as we have
spellcheckers to get normalize spelling.
The techniques also came in quite handy when I was teaching -- it
allowed me to prove which cheater copied off of which.

OK -- that's all quite plausible.
I contributed two articles to the 2001 edition of the New Grove
Dictionary of Music, and the editors added lines to both of the
articles to which I heartily objected -- the material had been
explicitly omitted by me because the material didn't belong, even
though it had appeared in the 1980 article. My articles were not
revisions of the 1980 article, but completely rewritten from
scratch, but the editors wanted certain points from the old article
in the new one, despite my adamant objections.
Another publication of mine was published in a completely mangled
version because the editor didn't *bother* to edit it. It was an
article for a listing of musical thematic catalogs, and I had
suggested the inclusion of 6 or 8 additional items not included in
the previous edition, and made reference to them in my text. I had
explained to the editor that the cross references needed to be
updated, as did all my references to the catalog numners, since they
weren't going to be the same.
But they did nothing -- they printed my contribution as it was sent
to them, with incomplete and misleading cross references, as well as
completely omitting the items that I had suggested by added to the
listing.
So, in these kinds of cases, you can never hold the author fully
responsible for the text, as editors can really make a hash of it.

I can't imagine a privacy statement of anybody not being something
that was cribbed, in part, from another source. A privacy statement
is something that is typically provided by one's lawyer (or web host,
or commercial web site designer, or...or...or...). It is rare that
someone would sit down and pen an original of something like that.
The fact that the source that was used was used by others is hardly
surprising. The language was probably provided at a fee, from a
reputable source and that source sold that same language to many
others. How do you jump to a conclusion of unwarranted copying from
the mere fact that others have similar, even exact, language, in a
privacy statement?
As well, anyone who looks at "his" article on the
Microsoft site can see that it is culled from Microsoft Access Help.
Uh, if I'm writing an article for MICROSOFT, which is going to be used
for support or documentation purposes, I am going to start with the
MICROSOFT product's help screens and language contained therein. How
does use of proprietary language FOR THE PROPRIETOR WHO WROTE IT TO
BEGIN WITH constitute unwarranted copying? If you want to accuse him
of something, accuse him of not being terribly original. But accusing
him of plagiarism is just plain silly. You can't steal from Peter,
Paul and Mary if you are writing FOR Peter, Paul and Mary and they
give you permission to use their previous work.
And
anyone familiar with web site design can see that the Tancey site has all
the marks of having been designed between 1995 and 1997. The "Best viewed
with" logos, the broken links, and the referral advertising are proof enough
of that. But truth is of little importance when it comes to defending your
little Internet buddies.
He's not a buddy of mine. I wouldn't know him from Adam. But I have
benefitted from his willingness to share (in the past). And the likes
of Don, who I'm still not convinced you are not, have made this
newsgroup a less hospitable place than it was a few years ago. And
that is such a supreme detriment to the Access community that it isn't
even remotely funny. I certainly don't blame those who decided to cut
back their involement in this newsgroup because of the hostile posts.
I just wish the hostile posts had never started.
If you aren't him, do some research on the two (Don, Arvin) and then
come back. The first is a psuedo-intellectual, homophobic, selfish
individual (and those are the kindest things I can think to say about
him), the latter has shared many an hour (and I mean MANY) of his work
product with the Access community, along with many more hours of
contributions to this newsgroup. The two don't really belong on the
same planet. It is a cruel irony that they are.

Here's a free clue, Don:
Try setting up more than one Usenet client. The Outlook Express
version string that appears in all your non-Google posts is giving
you away.
Well, in addition to the massive stupidity of the content, which
there's no way for you to hide.

news:M8********************@wagner.videotron.net.. . I did not post anonymously and did not use the same Outlook Express client
as the other guy did. All I did was state what was obvious to anyone who
read Arvin Meyer's published material, that Arvin Meyer is a plagiarist.
Apparently, Arvin Meyer must have also believed he was a plagiarist, since
he went out of his way to get the previous thread that exposed his fraud
deleted off Google Groups.
See, Arvin states (who is to believe what he writes anymore?) that "The
one
that I do remember originating from another source was one or 2 of the
bullets in the privacy statement." Whoa! What a monster of a lie! Take
any bullet from http://www.datastrat.com/Privacy.htm and google it. Not a
single one of them does not have over three dozen links to similar (or
exact) looking points. As well, anyone who looks at "his" article on the
Microsoft site can see that it is culled from Microsoft Access Help. And
anyone familiar with web site design can see that the Tancey site has all
the marks of having been designed between 1995 and 1997. The "Best viewed
