Hi Bill,

I believe Gustavo Franco is castortiu. Just have a look at the blog part on his bio[^]

A google search of Gustavo Franco CastorTiu seems to explicitly link them as one and the same across multiple sites.

Re: Possible abuse or plagiarism ?

After seeing the answer below and the blog in his profile... I agree with the opinion that both are names of the same person.

Would you mind to edit the message to delete the link so there are no wrong reports?

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I've deleted both the direct spam, and the indirect-via-the-sig spam messages (the later can be allowed according to Chris but it's the same place as his direct spam, so I deleted it as well).

He needs further kicks.

The member has 2 messages promoting the same product.

I also found this answer[^] by this user[^], promoting the same product.

Both the messages and the answer smell like spam.
