Is heavy on the website links, and two out of his three QA answers:

Also are links to the same site.

Oh that last answer is subtler. If you read the article it references, the article is also spam for Ozeki.

That is pretty subtle!
I'm in two minds about that - the article isn't blatant and it's been helpful to a lot of people by the looks of it, so I'm tempted to leave it there unmolested, but...it is spam...
Ooo! I hate moral dilemmas! Laugh | :laugh:

Ultimately, the reader would have to pay for the library as the "trial version" is limited, so it's gotta be spam.

Yeah - I looked at the site and saw the trial was limited.

It's gotta go!

Don't you just love it when posting a bit of spam in the wrong place means the total spam count of the universe ends up reduced? Laugh | :laugh:

Yeah, that is the same reason I did not report that article here. Those guys are actually quite good at delivering their spam articles - you and I have previously discussed one of 'their' articles here, which eventually did get approved and occasionally comes into the moderation queue with updates.
I am not sure I would have reported the article Pete reported above if the author had responded to posts in the Comment section, but 1 Article and 1 Message in over 6 years has a certain smell to it.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Or I think it's spam. It's garbage if it isn't. Mind you, spam is garbage, so...who cares?
