Some may think I’m in the same league and just as much a troublemaker and shady trickster myself but I’m doing it out in the open. I don’t regret it.

I’ll gladly edit out anything that infringes on privacy but only after I get a satisfactory answer that makes sense.

Sorry for ranting on your blog. Laters.

I do, however, absolutely hate the way online content is manipulated to give certain types of information more face time while burying others. I’ve seen tons of bloggers posting about communities that they’ve come across promoting that sort of thing.

If the kid is doing that sort of thing he’s probably looking to sell off his account and walk off with the money … otherwise you’d see him on your blog or the digg on your story flaming all over the place. That kind of leads me to believe he’s not reading anything, but rather has a macro set up to grab stories off of certain feeds and post them.

I’d bet if one looked hard enough … they could find that feed.

It’s just a theory though.
