Who's really third best?

Rob Hayes is a tool.

I always knew there were other people out there who do what I do, but I never realized quite how many there were until recently. In fact, there are two websites that claim to be the "third best" page in the universe:

http://www.the3rdbestpageintheuniverse.com
http://www.thethirdbestpageintheuniverse.com

So who's really third best? I usually wouldn't consider this to be any of my fucking business, but certain circumstances have made it my business. You see, The Third Best Page in the Universe is run by a talentless hack named Rob Hayes. Rob's writing ability is so poor that he sometimes resorts to stealing other people's shit. Don't believe me? Here's proof:

A Maddux article from June 2004:

A Rob Hayes article from October 2005:
http://www.thethirdbestpageintheuniverse.com/maddoxsux.htm

Notice anything? Aside from a different intro and some removed references to Progressive Boink and John Rocker, it's the same damn article. Some of you may be clever enough to notice that the dates are inconsistent on the Greg Maddux page. On the main page it says that the articles were added on 06/08/04 but each article ends with a 2003 copyright. You may be thinking that perhaps Maddux ripped off Rob Hayes and then backdated the entry. Well, you are wrong. First of all, "Grading crappy Maddox articles" differs in both style and tone from the typical Rob Hayes entry; there is minimal vulgarity and there are no spelling errors. Secondly, here's a link that proves the Maddux version of the article has been online since at least June 24, 2004:

Conclusion: Rob Hayes is a plagiarist and a total fucktard. If you ever feel like settling for third best, visit Gothrix instead. Not only is his site older, it's also 100% original... except for that whole fucking thing where he copied my site's style and layout.

Update 03-15-05

Apparently Hayes' entire site is comprised of rants he stole from other people. The Third Best Page In The Universe is scientifically designed to piss off as many people as possible, which makes it either one of the stupidest fucking things I've ever seen or one of the most brilliant. Since I fell for it, I'm leaning towards the latter.
