In the newsgroups, there was a post in March on "ost to pst convertes", 
which looks like it could have been flagged with spam (it no longer 
appears on the forum), with two "ad-like" responses, and a third is from 
notna, which looks more like a real response, even though it just has a 
URL in it. His history of posts that I've seen have been legitimate.
