I suspect it is any number of people.  I have seen this
form of 'I found' rubbish numerous times, about numerous
different URL's.  

It seems the multi-posting spammer's mistakenly think..
- ..that a second-hand report sounds more convincing
- ..that it will not be recognised for the lie that it is 
(excepting perhaps by those very new to usenet - 
who are sometimes fooled).

AFAIR, the term 'astro-turfing' comes close to describing
this behaviour, though usually the astro-turfer's are smart
enough to neither multi-post, nor *initiate* threads.
