They picked up one of <A HREF="http://www.dotkash.com/2008/02/04/british-people-losing-track-of-their-own-history/" REL="nofollow">your actual posts</A> earlier, which is why your name is there. The script used here does a crappy job of matching names with the right post; that's why your post is attributed to someone else. Theoretically, you could try to report them and give them a DMCA takedown notice, or whatever the equivalent is in the UK. Harold's approach of simply ignoring them is probably the best answer though. You could spend lots of time getting these taken down, but more would simply spring up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-51331722855892236902008-02-13T14:11:00.000+00:002008-02-13T14:11:00.000+00:00I think it's called "scraping"...I think it's called "scraping"...Cammy Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164253880427035485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-14951201560251661342008-02-13T13:25:00.000+00:002008-02-13T13:25:00.000+00:00Thanks, Harold.

They use bots and scripts to generate what look like real blog posts; but they're just spam. I have been linked to many of these sites and they seem to be on the rise.<BR/><BR/>The only thing you can do is ignore them.Harold Jarchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462304722726586155noreply@blogger.com
