The <a href="http://wwwapps2.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/ccarcs/aspscripts/en/current.asp" rel="nofollow">Civil aircraft register</a> shows that they have five C-152s, two PA-34s and a single C-172. So it seems like a real business.<br /><br />So why would a real business get involved in something as dumb as blog spamming which will only discredit their business and cause them to lose customers? <br /><br />I can only think of three reasons:<br /><br />1. They hired a twelve years old to handle their advertising and he thinks blog spamming is "keen".<br /><br />2. They are close to going out of business and are desperate to try anything, since real advertising isn't working.<br /><br />3. The spamming is really being done by one of their competitors in an attempt to discredit them and cause their customers to flee.<br /><br />I don't know which answer is correct, but I think it must be number three, as I just can't see a real business intentionally damaging their reputation like this on purpose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
