 * This plugin is not working as described. The code is very short and simple. It
   basically strips whitespace from the content and creates a hash of the first 
   1024 characters.
 * But what if a single character was changed in the original post? Then it’s considered
   a new post.
 * I believe it should also use strip_tags() or replace the preg_replace regex to
   only allow [a-z] for the hash and maybe reduce to less than 1024.
 * Even then, still face the question, what if original source post was updated 
   to fix a typo or bold a word?
 * I think I will try to modify this, and just compare either content url or post
   title. Hardly ever do you same same title with different content.
 * Any thoughts?
