It doesn't surprise me that a plagiarized post can be discovered in years past, because there's an especially ambitious member (or a bot) seeking these posts out.  What's alarming is that a member like bitcoin revo is getting banned--he's a good guy, and I've traded with him a couple of times.

I do hope OP doesn't get a permaban, because he's a decent member, regardless of that copy/paste.  He isn't a serial plagiarizer, a shitposter, or a scammer.  This is another one of the instances where I think someone should be given a second chance.  But yikes, this is crazy to see.

Whoops, I didn't read the whole thread before posting.  Holy shit, OP!  You plagiarized that many posts?!  Big sigh.  Those are all really old, but still.
