is 'love4aex' another garry brown sock puppet?

a couple of days ago we posted here about how central la politics blog caught bridgett brown's brother garry brown running a comment scam on the kalb video blog. yesterday we were perusing the town talk's website and wound up at their post of alexandria, la. city council president everett hobbs, by now, infamous letter. we very seldom read the story chat comments because people do like to run comment scams (if you want to know more about how comment, message board and forum scammers operate - eric hufschmid explains how here) but since at that post all the town talk had was a link to a .pdf file of the councilman hobbs letter we couldnt help but notice the story chat comments.

this one by "pinevillain" specifically:

so we looked up 'love4aex' and the town talk forum has a feature where you can view all posts (comments) by a certain poster: 'love4aex' all comments.

and we found that 'love4aex' had been going round spamming a copy of councilman hobbs letter into various town talk story chat threads such as this one which looks like the town talk has deleted as being "off topic."

if you look on this screen grab third sentence up from the bottom you will see what "pinevillain" was talking about.

something else that makes us suspect that 'love4aex' is actually the same person who was running the comment scam on kalb's video blog is that some of the wording is the same. such as shown from the kalb video blog here:

if you place your mouse cursor over the alias "one" at and look down into your status bar you will see that the email address given is gbrown@parata.com.

then look at this comment on the town talk forum by 'love4aex':

just coincidences? we think not, however, you decide for yourself.
