I see no evidence that this is true. The software being used is
Moveable Type, well-known blogging software. The content appears to be
unique: I find no other instances of select phrases when searching
Google, Technorati, or Feedster. The narrative thread in the posts is
also consistent, which would not be the case if they were the product
of an aggregator.
