I'll investigate, but I'm sure if Chow is also Cow, Chow is smart enough to cover his tracks. I don't really think they're the same, but it's definitely possible.

So I figured I would give the guy some love. I enjoy his blog anyway. I gotta give credit where credit is due. Looking at the guy's stats right out of the gate, he really hit the ground running. I even emailed John Chow and asked why he put up with that in the early days when it was a direct copy. He replied back saying that he was getting a ton of traffic from him and so it was tolerable. I think they have a pretty good relationship now. Who knows they may even be the same person. Chow did say several months ago that he was going to start a blog anonymously and see if he could replicate the results of his own blog.
