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. -- Andrew Thompson http://www.athompson.info/andrew/ Message posted via JavaKB.com http://www.javakb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/java-gui/200708/1 --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
