Yes it starts off saying that he found it on my site, but what are this boards thoughts on the entire post being copied literally word for word from my post?

I found a great deal via DansDeals. I wish I had a stopover in Toronto this summer to take advantage of this!

On the one hand, everyone learns/steals from everyone. I always say: stealing from one source is plagiarism; stealing from two sources is editing; stealing from three or more sources is research.
AKA, I couldn't believe it when I found out what other blogger was caught plagiarizing! Neither will you!!!!!!

Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize -
Only be sure always to call it please 'research'.

Just to give credit where credit is due. A few days ago I posted this thread in the Marriott forum:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marri...sale-ebay.html
Yesterday, I noticed one of the BA Bloggers, Angelina Travels, posted this:
http://angelinatravels.boardingarea....ing-ebay-buck/
It was suspiciously worded like my post, we both referred to the writing of the eBay ad as "copy" for one. I contacted her and she apologized, offered to delete the article if that's what I wanted and then immediately gave me the hat tip credit with link that I asked for in the alternative. Sad that it happened, but glad it was handled right.

The guy really has a talent for writing copy, I'll give him or her that.
...I must say that I give this seller credit for creating some persuasive copy in the item's description and coming up with a unique way to "recycle" a hotel key from a past stay...

I'm saying it was a similarly written article where I wasn't given credit for the original post.
