Jeff, Very funny... You have a good sense of humor, I know because it's not that funny when it happens to you. I had an agent copy and paste an entire blog I wrote as an answer to a question on Trulia Voices.

Unbelievable. . .Obviously not a very detail oriented group.  They need someone to proofread and maybe someone with an original thought as well!

Jeff - I guess they thought they could save themselves an attorney fee to draft up the terms of use agreement by using yours, but you have to wonder how well it applies to their situation in their state.  Are the terms enforceable?  If there's one place not to skimp, it's on legal protection.

We had a company once copy our web site and not even bother to change our name in the text of it!  The lengths that some people will go to in order to avoid doing their own work.  Remember, treble damages for willful infringement of copyrighted works.
