That's one of lies Dave uses against me in the
alternative medicine newsgroup, where such
characterization is considered a great smear.
Of course, in this newsgroup, that characterization
is not much more damning than being accused of
being an accountant or a system administrator.
The spammer has gotten so familiar with this lie
that he fails to realize it doesn't have any
traction when used in a newsgroup populated
by normal people. If he could think of a better
lie, I'm sure he'd use it. Perhaps he'll accuse
me of working for Olive Garden or Starbucks.

He invents these lies because he needs some kind
of distraction to pull the spotlight off his
spamming activities. His strategy is to attack
the critic, not the criticism. This is one of
two lines of evidence which leads me to suspect
he may be a Scientologist, but I will not make
that accusation without a reasonable degree of
certainty that it is true.
