Now this is odd. Wee Matt Buchanan from Dublin above has been receiving tweets complaining of his incessant attacks against telecom giant AT&T. Three people have said the exact same thing about his angry tirades, suggesting that either Matt has been hitting the sauce (very possible) or that someone has attempted a very stupid astroturfing campaign with or without AT&T’s permission (more possible).

The messages basically say “Kinda tired of @mattbuchanan always dissing on AT&T.” From what I recall Matt hasn’t said word one about AT&T and that they are better off attacking our own MG for calling AT&T a steaming heap of failure. I know where MG lives, AT&T, if you want to send planes over his house.
