Let's get this straight: Quoting excerpts from other blogs, with credit and link, is common and accepted practice among bloggers. It often goes much further than copyright law would allow, but it's not stealing, because it's within expected social norms. "All bloggers steal" is just typical GFY nonsense.

But Mr. "Tons Of Fresh Content" is not a blogger. He's stealing text wholesale, without link or credit.

There's a rule of thumb for these blogging threads, you know. If a poster uses two or more digits to enumerate how many blogs he has, he doesn't have a clue about blogs, and there won't be anything useful to bloggers in his thread inputs.
