No insult taken. I'm sure it has been done here and elsewhere. But that doesn't make my point any less valid.
You'd have to be pretty cynical to jump on authors who ended up in a thread discussing their work started by another user just because there have been similar occasions in the past where authors have created threads incognito for that purpose - unless there was a pretty big smoking gun.
The original poster has been in this forum for a while and looking at his posting history I'm not immediately seeing a connection between him and the author - certainly nothing that makes me want to imply the author has manufactured this thread for the purpose of self-promotion, much less attack him outright.
So were you just letting me know that this kind of thing has been done in the past - or did you think that this is what has happened in this thread?
