Yeah, it looks like a setup to me. Like Genesi (or bbrv, whatever) told these guys to come and pretend to have just now heard of Genesi and it's need for software. I suspect that is the case. Get these old timer/famous Amigans to pledge seemingly spontaneous support in a public forum as if they had stumbled across the original post by accident and were so impressed by it that they just had to stp in and discuss themselves.
It's not a news post because then it would have to have a little more truth in execution.
