I just want to sincerely thank you guys for finding that horrendous
spam mash-up of my review. I'd never noticed that pictips.com site
before, but it is grabbing all my blog posts and reconstituting them
with gibberish, and this is quite maddening to see your own writing
thrown through that blender.

I've written the Whois contact for the site and asked them to remove
anything they've grabbed from my blog (ok1000pentax.com), but I doubt
I'm going to get a reply. They must have some sort of auto-harvester
that does all this work for them while they go off and grab candy from
babies. I can't imagine a human personally editing the sort of word
salad they republish then going home to sleep peacefully at night. But
weirder things are known to happen.

Thanks again!

Oh, it's far to good to have happened accidentally.

I sense a homage to Philip K. Dick, who in one of his novels (Galactic
Pot Healer, perhaps) had protagonists deliberately trying to create this
kind of mistranslation, although not on as monumental a scale.
