Speaking of shills, someone has just registered an identity theft-type
account in Digg. It's shestowitz (sic), which is like the 4th or 5th account
that's intended to be used to post comments 'on my behalf'. This is very
annoying. People think I say nasty things and I'm just trying to keep up and
catch pages where the identity thief shows up and ridicules me. There has
got to be some law against this, but it's rarely enforcable.

The worst type of shill is one that puts words in your own mouth, and -- by
doing so-- incites hatred against you in various unknown places.
