actually, it's not that bad... he has common misspellings of his name (which
is smart)... he uses no word more than three times (the limit, as far as i
know)... and they all relate to his work...

i consider spamming to be putting in words that don't relate to his work, for
instance: "girls girls girls fetish poultry $240-worth of pudding pr0n p0rn
mayberry winston churchill"

his description is a little bit of a keyword list, but i wouldn't consider that
spamming...

also, according the research i've been doing on SEs (which has paid off very
well as of late), using a comma-separated list is no longer the way to go... it
eliminates keyphrases...
