Hello,
I noticed an article in the May issue of Black Bet Magazine titled Siam Sjourn by Terry L. Wilson. The article looked famliar to me and I seem to have read it before. I checked my back issues of Inside Kung Fu and lo and behold I found and article titled Shanghaied in Thailand also by Terry L. Wilson. Upon comparing the two articles I could see why it seemed familiar, they were almost the exact same article. The first few paragrahps were word for word duplicates. Many of the other paragraphs were esentially the same with slight differences in some of the wordling. If anyone wishes to verify this please refer to the February 2006 Issue of Inside Kung Fu, page 74 and the May issue of Black Belt page 112.
I personally felt this was an unethical move on the part of the author as he sold the same article to two different magazines and did not have the decency to even do a proper re-write.
I would welcome Mr. Wilson to respond and explain his actions, if he is a member of this forum. I also just wanted to make others aware of this in case anyone has had or will have any dealings with him in the future.
