If claiming ownership is not your intention, you should make it clear by using blockquotes or otherwise setting the quoted text apart from your own observations.

I find it difficult to give you the benefit of the doubt when it looks like you have used text from other sources in the past without giving any attribution at all.

http://blog.alertfox.com/2011/05/www-or-no-www-is-not-same.h... seems to have some of the same text at http://www.awebguy.com/2011/02/seo-tip-www-or-no-www/

He's made it clear that all the text is a quote now, which means this is pretty much a duplicate of the (months old) original.
