A couple of years back I wrote a post about my experiences with PNC and their overdraft fees. I thought the point of a debit card was that you couldn’t overdraw. I was wrong. Whatever.

What is more interesting is that my blog seems to become something of a water cooler for PNC rage. It started slowly. Eighteen months after I wrote the post, it received it’s first Anti-PNC comment from someone who I did not know. Two months later, another appeared. Then just two weeks after that, two more appeared. Since then, I get a comment posted on that blog post every so often.

Some how, this became your PNC Rage Center. Guess what is the #1 google hit for “fuck pnc bank“. That’s right, it’s me.

Interestingly, while researching this post, I found out that some other site has blatently stolen my post and posted it as their own. WTF? The site seems to just steal and repost blog items without attributing them. For what purpose, I have no idea. There don’t seem to be any advertisements on it. What’s the point here?

There appears to be no way to contact the people who run the site, and whois information just shows a generic godaddy thing. You can ‘register for account’, so I tried signing up with a back up e-mail address. At any rate, I object to people taking my posts, reposting them, and claiming copyright.

Ideas?
