While my efforts are always to contribute free knowledge to the community
like many others, there exists many lames and craps who has mastered Ctrl-C
and Ctrl-V and use this lame methods to copy paste other's work and sell it
in their name. 

Thanks to the person who informed me that one of my article called
"De-Mystifying Google Hacks" is being sold at eBay without my knowledge
while the same article is available on my site and as well as many other
security sites free. Here is the link where that lame has put my article on
