I think YOU'RE a spam bot. How about them apples?

I don't like web of trust. It's incredibly inaccurate.

All the websites of local stores and even my local bank are all flagged as extremely dangerous, about half of them because they are "derived from parent sites".

Looks like a regular user to me. The site doesn't try to sell anything. And without posting, a spambot wouldn't actually cause a raise in pagerank for the linked sites. That is, until you link to the profile :)

The username 'MyOwnClone' doesn't really match enough in google for it to be a spambot. Plus I prefer to act upon proof, of which there's none since said user hasn't posted :)
