As for this orginal post, I see similar ones like this on newsgroups. the
writing style is often the same. I feel that Spike often is putting posts
out
there like this to advertise his site.

I can assure you I'm not "Spike" as I have a long history on UseNet and I take
offense at your implication. In the same vein, perhaps you have your own
personal agenda besides "sparing us" from the dictatorship?

Just my 2 cents.........
