There was this seller on eBay who spammed his auction to a non-spam newsgroup - "Wow, look at this LOL". http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6963988701 Now of course everyone jumped on him for spamming his auction. He claimed "i't wasnt me, I didnt spa'm that auction, I mere'ly came acro'ss it searchin'g eBay." (You get the point). The odd thing was he spammed it about an hour after it was listed on eBay. Same bad grammar as the seller, same (ab)use of apostrophies, etc. Then his son and his granddaughter jump in on the thread to back him up. Can you say major sock puppet? The thread is a good read. http://tinyurl.com/9uvyd http://tinyurl.com/9gbjt Evan
