You "recently came across" this? Strange then how the davidsteele.com
domain belongs to a Donald Bassler then. Quite a coincidence.

Nice catch PT.

Not that one really needs the official record to clue in to the
self-promotion, but it does amuse me at how the spammers never seem to
bother to take the appropriate steps required to hide their connection to
the advertised product or web site.

I mean, come on...posting using your real name? What kind of spam tactic is
that?

The big tip-off is "great product, thought I'd share" from someone you never
heard of. Practically guaranteed to be spam.

Because this form of idiocy is so common, my first reaction when somebody
posts about this "great product I recently came across" is to do a whois
on the domain name. It's sad how often it's the same name - not to give
hints to spammers or anything, but why don't they get a sock puppet email
address on gmail or yahoo in a different name?
