Did you ever follow the link above?

More importantly, at the thread I pointed you at?

In [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=80387|http://z.iwethey.org...w?contentid=80387] I directed you at a discussion where a couple of posts down you will find [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=30074|http://z.iwethey.org...w?contentid=30074].

As pointed out there, the point of having a shill show up here is not to convert anyone, it is to pre-emptively tie people up here at key points to keep them from being active somewhere that might have more of an impact.

But when it comes to the Opera and MSN issue, with the publicity that has been given, is there any surprise that it might have been fixed by now?

Seriously, for someone who shows some signs of intelligence, the consistency with which you misunderstand anything inconvenient to you is quite amazing.

Cheers,
Ben

Ironically informative

If you meant that as an explanation of shill-like behaviour, then I don't buy it.

But it was perfect as an explanation of a principle that a good shill or troll can use to maximize the effect of spending a small amount of energy.
