| computing. Buy in now before the stock goes up! Way up!”
|
| “Microsoft Stores to Include Games, Xbox Goodies, and Software! Investors
| love this! A hot BUY op!”
|
| “Show your support for #Microsoft by buying MSFT stocks.”
|
| “Secret tech stock that you must own right now. MSFT (#Microsoft)”

Optionetics - A mystery solved.
,----[ Quote ]
| Now it appears we have an answer, as this comment was left by the real
| company Optionetics:
|
| Hi all,
|
| Thanks for posting this to the blog. I’m actually with Optionetics, which has
| done investor education for 15 years.
|
| We NEVER do stock tips and investment advice like @optionetics has done.
| That’s illegal. We only provide education and tools to teach people how to
| increase trading profit and protect downside risk.
|
| We’re currently talking with Twitter so we can take back our company name
| from this impersonator. Thanks for asking the important questions!
|
| We’re just diving into Twitter now as a company. You can follow me at
| @AKatOptionetics, or http://twitter.com/AKatOptionetics
|
| Aaron
|
| So it appears our Microsoft promoter Optionetics is not all they seem. I
| hope this matter gets resolved.

| An impressive list of spam comments asking for supporting OOXML and
| backward compatibility, claiming also that "Open XML in no way
| contradicts any other international document standard". No really?

| In 2001, the Los Angeles Times accused Microsoft of astroturfing
| when hundreds of similar letters were sent to newspapers voicing
| disagreement with the United States Department of Justice and its
| antitrust suit against Microsoft. The letters, prepared by Americans
| for Technology Leadership, had in some cases been mailed from
| deceased citizens or nonexistent addresses.
