Out of fleeting idle curiousity, I decided to search google for the name of
an old startup I used to work for, 'ePostings'. That company is long gone,
but another company is offering a marketing 'service' under that brand,
something which seems particularly evil.

ePostings
" One of the most credible sources of information is the word-of-mouth. Let
us boast about you by making discreet postings to discussion groups,
forums, bulletin boards, newsgroups, and chats. "
Ugh! Is there a name for this sort of stealth spam? That is just SO
friggin' cynical and evil... not in the least because it also implies that
they could dish dirt about any given product or company for the right
price, as well.
As douglas adams might say, I hope people like these are the first up
against the wall when the revolution comes...
