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.



he must be counting on customers being too stupid to realize
who he is.
