Dear Mr. Heinz Bulos: 

Thank you for your response rendered useless by its 
tardiness. 

What a sorry sight. I provided you the URL of the 
OFW-News article, Mr. William Esposo's source, which 
was http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OFW-News/message/62. 
If you had enough courtesy and diligence to follow 
the link, you would have read that document which 
rightfully names R Balboa as the author of the trivia 
lifted by the Inq7 columnist. He maliciously deleted 
my name and freely copied everything, word for word, 
and passed off the trivia as his "excerpts." Since 
you uncivilizedly disregarded that part of my letter 
and unethically went on to present one of your 2001 
awards to Inq7, the public should now begin to 
question the credibility and prestige of the 
Philippine Web Awards (PWA). As this clearly shows 
that you condone electronic theft, Internet surfers 
and other people would get sick if they discovered 
that the 'P' in your PWA stands for plagiarism.
