I don't know of anyone called "Road Rash", so I can't answer who, but I can tell you WHAT Road Rash is. Have you ever fallen down and skined your knees? Basically that is what road rash is; skin coming into volient contact with the street or pavement. In other words, scraping a layer or more of skin off your body. That is one reason I always wear jeans, & boots when riding a motorcycle. Thats usually when you hear the term 'road rash'; when one has "dropped" or wrecked a bike.
another term is "road crayon" you become one by wiping out in short pants and a t-shirt or a nylon jacket or no helmet or one of those beenie helmets

Marina and moderators,I was reading a hub that was categorized under affiliate marketing and was very disturbed to see the Google ads at the bottom promoting a scraping site, as shown here:The hub itself was legitimate and had nothing to do with scraping from other pages or sites. Is this...

I quick search has shown that it is very hard to stop copying and scraping of articles - that is up to HP - But it is certainly worth doing and HP should implement it, even if it only stops 50%. Users could report the copiers and they could be added to the banned bot list.But what can an author do...
