Besides splogs, we also have to deal with spam. I get so much random spam on old entries, I thought I'd curb that down a bit by turning off comments on old posts. I hope this comment doesn't jinx me, but I took down the captcha and the spam is, so far, about the same. That splog didn't copy from my blog, so I had nothing to throw at him anyway; I hadn't blogged in a bit at that time, so he couldn't steal anything. I had that conversation before MacEntee got to him. And I did notice that his site came down not too long after. Glad you enjoy my series on WDYTYA; I enjoy writing it. Now that they're going to re-run season 2, it will be great motivation for me to finally write up the last episode, which will air very soon. Thanks Ed.

You should always put your name and a link back to something on your site in your post. I put mine at the end. They say that the thieves sometimes delete it, but not always. There is some information on what else you can do at http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=792116fa64dae2ec&hl=en . Note that it comes from Google. They don't like those sites anymore than you/I do. The site you/Tamara Jones mentioned got a 403/404 Forbidden/Not found result when I just tried it. It must have also helped to 'sic' another 'big gorilla' onto the case, namely Mr. McEntee at geneabloggers. It helps to get someone bigger than you are on your side. Also: I wonder where Rosie O'Donnell would go back _to_? I doubt the people of Ballintur townland, Co. Down, would appreciate a sudden influx of all my mother's relatives. They left in the first place because there was no room for them. But Rosie's episode was good and no problems with her here. Nice blog, forgot how I found you, but I bookmarked your RSS feed and look forward to your critique of WDYTYA next year, as well as your well done research. Remember, it's only TV:) And I apologize in advance but I don't think my profile comes through right on Blogspot since I moved my blog to my own site.
