I have no idea who you are-or why PLR articles can hurt you

Dr Jeffrey Lant seems to be a staple around APSense, quite a feat considering he is not a member.  However it seems like every day I'm seeing another one of his articles.  This is great for Dr Lant but not for you.

Dr Lant is a prolific writer and there's nothing wrong with that.  He shares his articles and there's nothing wrong with that either, but there is something wrong when I look at a members blog list and all of their blogs were written by Dr Lant!

We all have those moments when writer's block hits us, believe me I know but that's no excuse for not writing your own articles and posting them.  Many members here have done nothing but build Dr Lant's APSense presence, not their own.  All we really know about them is that they are fans of Dr Lant's articles.

PLR articles are a crutch.  Every time you repost that article by Dr Lant you give him more exposure at your expense.  Now I'm not saying you can't use an article now and then, but what is your purpose in being on APSense to build your presence or someone else'? 

If you are here to build your presence, then where are your original works?  Your articles don't have to be perfect, but writing and posting your own material builds your presence.  The more original content that you write the more members know about you and the stronger your presence becomes.

By all means post an article by Dr Lant, but let it be an article not every article.  Build your presence.  If you do nothing but post articles by Dr Lant, then you have no proesence, you are just Dr Lant's Apsense represetitive.
