Little Mouse said it.

A comment above by Little Mouse provides a possible answer or at least explanation to a situation I am suffering from.

For my sins I have the honour or misfortune of being a senior moderator on bleepingcomputer.com and for a little while now I have been bothered by a not large but not insignificant number of posts which are suspected of being straight plagiarism but it is difficult finding an original source for many of them. His description -" "how-to" web pages that had clearly scraped the technical steps from another source, and then padded it with a lot of infuriating waffle, with a real "English is my second language" vibe." fits what is happening to a T. This is something I think that I and my colleagues are going to have to discuss.
