I&#x27;m not sure, but to me it looks more a bad coincidence that some astroturfing attempt.<p>hoag: is the original poster with an old account. In some other sites it&#x27;s common that the OP makes a vacuous comment about how great the story is. Here is less common luckily, but I&#x27;ve seen a few recently.<p>zanewill9: is a new account. The comment is too exalting and it raises a red flag for me. But if you read the history of the comments of that account, they cover many independent stories and are relevant to each story. So I guess it legit. (Or an extremely good suckpupet.)
