It is pretty safe to say that Novell and its partners have a growing habit of
going around the Web and patrolling blogs, maybe even using 'commenting brigade'. Novell is working on its public image. It's the nature of protecting one's own job and ecosystem. In some cases, E-mails are sent directly to the writers rather than address writers in the comments.
One new thing that I was able to find just moments ago is that sockpuppet techniques
might be used as well. It is a situation where one person uses multiple identities. We have already caught
such incidents before, but
here is a recent example.
It might be a frequent occurrence, but we rarely look at IP addresses and other such details, unless a particular activity becomes too suspicious.

As I've stated stated, we rarely ever check this (I could count on one hand the number of times I've checked such a things in the past year, i.e. since inception).

Well, let me tell you that I'm a student, but I wonder what you are.
You write so much (never mind the quality of what you're writing) that you either have _no life_ and no girlfriend or you must be doing it during your working hours. Which brings me to the question: Is somebody paying _you_ to write this blog?

I'm not. Isn't that a great proof that we're not identical? :-)

Likely Mark S. is paying him. Now that this is disclosed, this site can be shut down. :-)

For stories? I'm in favor of that. Would hopefully be a great help to raise the quality.

Come to think of it, I did point you to inaccuracies before.

You should print out that sentence of yours and cast a good, long look at it every time you feel the urge to write a blog entry.
