You know, there are a number of words for pretending to be a satisfied
customer when you're really a shill for the company (or the founder). The
polite word is "astroturf" (because it's fake grass-roots). A more
appropriate word is "fraud". I prefer "****ing liar" myself.

I post every now and then hyping the CoPilot flight planning program for
Palm OS (http://lauriedavis9.tripod.com/copilot/) and my waypoint
generator for that product (http://navaid.com/CoPilot/) but I'd never
pretend to have "just discovered" this new product when I was in fact the
inventor of it.

I'm not interested in your product, no matter how good it is, because of
the slimebag promoting it.
