That's not true by a long shot.   Anyway, it doesn't surprise me that these posts not only got merit, but got it from two well-respected members here.  I know I don't check every post I merit to see if it's a copy-paste.  In fact I haven't checked a single one yet. 

As stated, the issue isn't with the merits these scum suckers earned but with the plagiarism itself, and once that's caught the account that got the merit will be nuked anyway. 

And I say props (big props) to the folks who are catching these nutsacks.  Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's not.
