I've saved that for next time. Lorelle - Thanks for stopping by. I should have (sadly ironically) given credit where credit is due - I read your post and that is actually where I got some of text for the email I sent. To the splogger: I apologize for the name calling; it is contrary to how I typically operate. I've updated my Creative Commons license as well. Waldo – Thanks for the help.

It calls attention, aka traffic, to the splog, which you do not want. There are reasonable and well practiced methods on how to handle this plague that infests EVERY blogger, no matter how large or small, on the web.

You can use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Standard_GFDL_violation_letter" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia's examples as a starting point</a>. DMCA takedown notices are ludicrously effective. What you need to do is send a DMCA takedown notice. You can use Wikipedia’s examples as a starting point.
