I came across a spin post the other week - " Interesting facts about xxxx country" When I googled the title, turns out the list was an extract from an article that included something like 15 interesting facts from the same country, and of course the author had spun the content. Sadly Hivewatcher didn't seem to think it was a spun article and I forgot to downvote it.

One point I will and hate to disagree with you

This is pretty underhanded in my opinion and takes essentially, zero skill.

Respinning does take a bit of skill to re-write so it can avoid being picked up. It's just so sad these people don't put their skills in a better way and create original content.
