There is allegedly no indication who created or funded this web site for expressing support for Lance and his present difficulties.

It seems a bit odd to me to set up a website of this nature expressing full on support, but then to avoid saying who you are yourself?

Haha, that's excellent. It looks as though it set up by an SEO organisation. The usual purpose of these is to set up a site that gets lots of links to it to increase it's pagerank with the famous google. Once there are enough they can then sell outgoing links from the site

or maybe it really is a site supporting Lance

He seems to have hired a lot of lawyers and suchlike in the last few weeks, if web news is correct. I am wondering if he hired a public relations firm as well...

Like I said, why not put your name on work you are proud of?

Having read some of the [url= http://www.lancesupport.org/blog/messages-of-support.html ]Messages of support[/url] I can only conclude that this a tongue in cheek website.

There are some very funny ones there (be sure to check the names of the people who have 'posted' them)

Loving the messages from F.Simeoni. Still think it's an SEO site though rather than a joke one
