I saw it before it was deleted, and I agree with Wes - it's a tinned meat merchant.

So, this[^] poster has only posted 3 posts - all in the Insider News forum, all going to an external blog site. It looks like spam to me, but I leave it to you to decide.

The posts.

My rapid knee-jerk says it's definitely blatant self promotion but more retardathon than intentional spam. I will suggest to the poster to link his blog feed over to CP rather that posting links on the insider, then if he's legit he wont be splattered.

I agree with you.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Nice spot!

The text is not spam:

"Thank you so much! Publish in your blog. With great respect, your constant reader Alexander Martynov from Abakan. Write more!"
"Very grateful! Publish on your blog. With great respect, your long-time reader of Matthew G. Bogdanov from Abakan. Write more!"
"Thank you! Interestingly written. With great respect, your long-time reader Boris Samsonov from Lipetsk. I will come again tomorrow ..."

But the links are to jobs adds, so even with the multiple personalities, it's still spam... Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:
