On Aug 7, 2005 the following intentionally illiterate rip-off appeared
here:
http://www.diyforums.net/rectifier-diode-with-low-vf-97497.html

It was attributed to someone calling himself "cfarmand", a name that
he possibly ripped off as well.

All the replies are also illiterate rip-offs.

It appears that this guy is one sick troll who targets web based
forums.

Here are more examples:

I'm glad he has moved web to based groups. He used to frequent

comp.lang.java.programmer and target regular posters there.
Incidentally, the illiterate style is generated by a computer program
using your text as input.

No, just to irritate people. I assume the motive is similar to that of

virus writers or children that attack telephone boxes.
