I stumbled upon a great website for anyone interested in learning

[shameless plug for book]


Eh, deja vu? Googling....

Ok,
Jul 30: posts troll on Starbucks to coffee-related groups
Aug 2: posts troll on flavored coffee to coffee-related groups
Aug 8: posts troll on decaf coffee. Aug 19: posts identical troll
Sept 17: posts something word-for-word identical to the above with a
different subject header.

As far as Usenet abuse goes, the coffeereview plug is better than the
shameless trolling, but abuse is abuse.

That people think this is an effective way of selling stuff is beyond
me.... I can only conclude that the book is designed for the sort of
morons who fall for this kind of stuff.

As for Mr. Rosati, he clearly needs to learn to cover his tracks slightly
better.
