You know, as a professional courtesy, the Athens Banner-Herald should have credited The Oconee Enterprise with first reporting this information.
Granted, Adam Thompson's reporting is much better than Blake Giles's work, but, still, speaking as a former journalist it always bugged me when I'd break something and, in response, a competitor would follow through with the same processes I did and report it without attribution.

Indeed. Even though I consider myself to be a commentator and not a "journalist" in the traditional sense, I do undertake quite a bit of research to buttress my arguments. It is amazing how often that research and those arguments turn up in other places, sometimes virtually verbatim, without the slightest hint of attribution.
