Note the dates of the original posts, the membership date, and the apparent disconnect between his listed location and the time of his posts. (Those times do match up nicely with daytime hours in the location of the Chinese company he links to.) Note the poster’s focus on a single topic; I’ve linked to his entire body of work here. Spam?
His responses are on topic for the discussions he responds to, and (so far) he hasn’t started an unsolicited thread. He isn’t pasting the same text repeatedly, varying the responses slightly to fit the discussion. Not spam?
Are the sample posts spam? Why or why not?
