Talk about agonizing over little things. If anything posting snippets like this only help to drive traffic to his site. Especially when the link is include as the op did. There is also a chance a post like this would fall under fair use as well. If he is really worrying about it he needs to take his own advice.

Guys, it's completely fine as long as you aren't trying to pass other people's work off as your own. In other words, citing the source and clearly quoting it when you're taking it word by word is enough. Otherwise, it'd be a pretty big impediment on freedom of speech wouldn't it? It'd be ridiculously difficult to comment on other people's work.

That was my point.  If Thom Hogan is really complaining about things like this as chlamchowder claims, than he needs to take is own advice and stop "agonizing over the little things."
