Spam because a user was happy with it? Happy enough to go to some new forum and proclaim it? I don't understand. Or was your sarcasm not sarcasm?

The comment seemed like nothing more then thinly veiled boosterism and reminded me of hundreds of spam emails.

I rarely click on usernames of random people but I did for his and again the timing seemed suspicious. The odds that "he" found your article and created the account in the 2 min that your article was posted seemed low.

I'm willing to believe he's a legitimate user and just happy about it but the whole subject reeks of penny stock juicing.

My apologies, then. I've seen plenty of nmc/btc announcements here and did not think it out of place.

No you don't have to apologize for anything.
