My everlasting embarrassment...

This started with a search for my buddy Larry Butler's hilarious Liveaboard
Simulator.

At the same time, there was a thread I'd responded to in a FaceBook group
about the same issues from a newly-moved-aboard member.

My Googling initially uncovered Jonathan GANZ (NOT!!! John Strydom, he's
very definitely a good guy) having wholly appropriated Larry's work and, at
the bottom, copyrighting it in his own name. But I hadn't noticed that
until I'd given the link.

Right after that, the member in question noted that they'd had that
experience with John Strydom. So, when I went looking for, and found. the
original, here, at my advanced age, the johns were switched in my mind.
Thus, I castigated the wrong person.

The original, appearing in RBC in 2002, was open-domained by Larry at the
time.

I've already apologized to John Strydom. Ganz doesn't surprise me a bit.
Please insert Jonathan Ganz below!

My apologies for the confusion; if my original didn't have the text of the
original 2002 post, search for Larry Butler or w4csc and "the Liveaboard
Simulator" - it's still a classic!

John Strydom lifted this whole, added a couple of words, and copyrighted
it as his own in Sailing Now.

Not so much as a credit to Larry, let alone a "used by permission" - which
I'm sure Larry would have granted.

His stripes never change, do they?
