The statement seems to have discouraged much of the scraping, as it’s done by robots and they’re difficult to keep re-coding to strip things out of individual feeds. Please have understanding about what’s going on here. We get a lot of traffic thanks to folks like you guys and have a good Google pagerank, which is great but makes the website content thieves look at us like a mosquito viewing a person sun bathing without bug repellent. At times we’re getting attacked in in a big way by comment spammers and content scrapers. Defense actually takes a significant amount of time out of my week.

This is so typical, criminals out there make me do something that messes with good people’s needs such as you guys.

Come to think of it, if I’m publishing a summary feed, I can probably take the “stolen” message off or move it to the bottom of the feed where my plugin originally put it.

Part of this project is to upgrade WordPress for various reasons. When I do, most of my plugins will probably stop working anyway. So one thing at a time here. Though I’ll get that message off now that I’m using summary.

Thanks to both of you for your feedback.
