Strumpette-Related Comment Subterfuge

Yesterday I wrote a post focusing on some comments that Mike Driehorst made about Strumpette’s potential link to a Chicago-based company called Forward, Inc. I mentioned this issue in an attempt to garner some much needed “link-love” for some healthcare non-profit blogs.

Well, folks it looks like I was taken in. Robert French e-mailed me last night and informed me that he contacted Driehorst to ask him about his comment. Driehorst told French that the comment was from him, but the “content of the comment was denied by the guy that was mentioned in it.” Specifically Brian Connolly of Forward Inc said that someone may have been using (or was assigned) his IP address when they made the comment.

Now, I’m not an Internet technology expert, so I’ll just say this: Driehorst made the comment, but now can’t confirm that his analysis holds water. I don’t know what to make of this, so I won’t comment on it further.

Anyway, the original intent of my post still stands. Support the healthcare non-profits listed in the post by going to their sites, critiquing their blogging efforts and telling others about them.

That’s it for now, and the last I’ll say (hopefully) about Strumpette – unless she or it starts offering up valuable scoops and content that is worth talking about. In any business, sex appeal only goes so far before people start asking for substance, you know what I mean?

    Hey Fard,

    Well, it gets curiouser and curiouser… This post by Mike Krempasky and the ensuing comments will answer a lot of the questions anyone may have.

    Short story, the person we were both referring to - Mr. Connolly - is actually the person providing the hosting for the site. He is a reseller of hosting services. He denies being the author of the blog.
