Thanks for pointing that out. I will monitor my post over the next couple of weeks and see if that stops the scraping. Cheers for your help, Gary. I have now set feedburner to nofollow.

Actually come to think of it i think there's a "noindex" feature in Feedburner under the Publicize section, this would be akin to using Robots.txt It's good to do regardless due to duplicate content issues, and the possibility of the feed appearing in the serp's above the actual article page etc. That's how alot of these scrapers work, they grab the RSS feeds on Auto-pilot then post it to their blogs. Not many actually spider your regular page (too much "noise" text such as menu elements, advertising, latest post links etc) I'd say the guy doesn't even check the blog unless the Adsense eranings dissapear. After having another look at their site, i'd bet on the fact he's pulling your contant via RSS. Hope this helps. Hello Gary,

It’s good to do regardless due to duplicate content issues, and the possibility of the feed appearing in the serp’s above the actual article page etc.
