Out of the office!
In yet another attempt to great a post despite my lack of inspiration, I'm linking to
Lisa's post of great out-of-the-office messages.
Sample: "You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all."

Is there a word for ...
1. Posting a link to something that's been posted many times before, but making it sound like you are the first person to discover it (lots of people get accused of on Slashdot, but what do you call it?) (and yes, my last post was a much posted link, although I did admit that it was, at least).
2. Quoting very old information in an online article, without checking to see if it is still correct. (You can do this in print too, but it is worse online not only because you should be easily able to recheck the info, and at least correct something after it is found to be wrong).
3. Blogs that are almost entirely del.icio.us links (as opposed to this blog, which has almost no content of any kind).
