This APPEASRS to be a shell ID where the user simply sets up several blogs, harvest information, and then load them up with advertisements.
Likely very hard to locate this person, but perhaps filing a complaint with Google can have an impact. (Click on the 'report Abuse' link at the top if his blog page.)
Unfortunately, as it is rater simple to create scripts to create blogs, and harvest information, and FREE to set them up – all the while collecting 'advertisement' $$ I suspect these type of 'shell' blogs will become more and more common….

Evidently the blogger goes by the name "Stevo". He lists 16 blogs ( http://www.blogger.com/profile/15384841517565159074 ) including the one that reposts each message to this group. Again, I'd like to cull this person from our roster, but don't know how to identify him. There's no match for "stevo".
