Is there a reason why you linked to your blog, and not the full interview at the original source?

http://www.i-programmer.info/professional-programmer/i-progr...

View on HN

It seems like the poster is a spammer. All his posts are texts copied from other sources.

We banned the site and changed the link. Thanks wslh and dgritsko.

but in the very beginning it states "Here we host an overall summary of the highlights of the interview ranging over topics as diverse as the future of C#, asynchronous v parallel, Visual Basic and more (the link to the full interview on i-programmer can be found at the end of this page)". How can this be considered spam ????????????? I think that the notion was to read the highlights and if you find it interesting and want to see more then follow the link to the whole interview

Do you ever see a site like this that was not a spammer? I don't think too many people will click in the link the whole interview.

if that is so, then you must consider this one as the exception to the rule since that's the PR manager of O'Reilly UK not just 'someone'....

...since that's the PR manager of O'Reilly UK not just 'someone'

If she was my mother I would do the same.

it wasn't meant in that to treat her in a 'special way', but that being the PR manager of O'Reilly for the whole of UK proves that she is NOT a spammer and that she should not be treated as one

You can see blackhat tactics everywhere. Please take a look at the "Reddit Bans The Atlantic, Businessweek In Anti-Spam Crusade": http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/06/13/reddit-...

I love The Atlantic but they were engaged in these blackhat tactics.

Her. Taken from that very blog:

"Josette Garcia is the PR / Marketing Manager for O’Reilly in the UK.

If you would like to contact Josette, you can reach her at:"

So, spamming for O'Reilly? :)

Thanks for the original link. Another reason why I read comments mostly before the story.
