Commentor: Sockpuppet or Astroturfing

We are blessed by the internet. It allows friends and family across the globe access to these humble words.

It also allows for comments. My favs are "anonymous."

What anonymous commentors forget is that we have access to a wealth of information about them. So when a state employee comments "anonymously", he fails to remember that we have ways of knowing who you are.

Case in point, a comment to this post. And I ask you a question:

Is this sock puppetry? or 'turfing?

I know that Speaker Pelosi has claimed that the Tea Protests occured as a result of 'turfing. So, which is it, the puppet or the turf?
