I just posted a comment on the article that he should proove that he is the author of the original.
There is a low chance that he is (he is a member since 2009 and the original seems to be from 2009 or earlier).

I was tempted to do the same (and probably should have).
I didn't report the user however.

Don't be afraid. I was already writing a report here too but was finally uncertain. I still think it is plagiarised but asking before is better when it is not a clear case.

So just let us wait some time if he responds.

Busy spammer this one, copy pasting quite fast

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It's the same link as the one OG reported earlier today - some sort of bot as his posting rate is enormous.

Fortunately all the messages seem to be getting caught in moderation this time - unlike the 300+ that ended up in the forums earlier

Yeah - looks like a bot, given the speed he's posting.

Same here. "It" is spamming all my old comments, causing me an ~~nauseating~~ exhilarating trip down memory lane.
