Should Ventura Have Credited Plotz?
RECEIVED Tue., April 17, 2007
Dear Editor,
Re: Michael Ventura's “Letters @ 3am” [April 13]: Wonder if he needs to give credit to David Plotz? It seems very similar to Plotz's Blogging the Bible found on Slate.com. For an informative and amusing, but not malicious, survey through the Bible, your readers should check out Plotz's blog.

[Michael Ventura responds: Dear Mr. Harding – I'm an old-fashioned book person. The only blogs I've ever consulted are those of my acquaintances, and even that is rare for me. I've not heard of David Plotz, but with the plethora of Bible commentary available (in all forms) it's no surprise that some of us overlap. As a perusal of my writings will demonstrate, when I refer to a source, I'm thorough about giving credit.]
