It appears that I was wrongly informed and Richard Corbett is not taking comments after all.

Dear Gawain,

Thanks once again for taking an interest in my blog but the link up on England Expects (from the the update on your Pot Kettle post), takes people to a fake of my blog, which I have absolutely nothing to do with.

My blog is put up through an FTP server and the address is ww.richardcorbett.org.uk/blog and the blog itself, as is made quite clear from reading it, dates back to February 2005.

I would be grateful if you could take your link to the hoax blog down and point out to your readers that http://corbettmep.blogspot.com/ is a fake, which I am in no way responsible for.

Thanks,

Richard Corbett

So at his express request I would like to confirm, that there are two Corbett blogs, one with and without comments. The one with comments does not have archives going back anywhere near as far as his for example. It would appear that it is a mirror blog, I am not sure what the legal position of it is not being savvy in these things, maybe somebody could let me know? For example, if there are really libellous comments posted upon it, who is responsible? Is it a breach of copyright? I don't know.

That being said I would have thought that there is no harm in it as it allows the comment section, but otherwise faithfully reproduces what he has written. (Apart from anything else it doubles his web presence).

So I hope that I have done what he asked in the Spirit of good and fraternal relations, but I shall still be looking at the mirror site every now and again to find out what the great unwashed think of his musings.
