Me tooI'm missing a 'who?' option in the poll...
But I can confirm that some "girls" in Speccy industry were not real. Check for example "Sonja Knight"

And yes, it also happened and still happens quite often in magazines that some authors don't exist, their texts are written by someone else
or even a group of people.
