I do a lot of reviewing of academic papers
before they're published in journals and
conferences.  One of the things we have to
diligently check for is plagiarism.  I found
myself checking the source of the spam text and
it's wordpress.com blog.

If other excerpts turn up, and if visitor IP
addresses are logged, it shouldn't be too hard
to cross reference the data and pinpoint the
culprit.
