> This is funny,

Have you noticed the current trend for what they call, very loosely, "reality TV"? I kind of trust your presence here as a serious enquirer indicates that you don't watch this stuff. (;-)

Well, this is "reality net". It is real people behaving as (some) real people do.

> Granted this is really funny, but the people that actually want a serious answer, ... are sitting there wondering "What the hell is this place??"

Sorry, but what can we do? This is but a microcosm of the real world, and that's what you get - spruikers, entrepreneurs and all. It's not pretty.

I'm sure you have done this already, but you can still make use of it, and get the important facts. You just read through, carefully and patiently, and figure out where each contributor "comes from", then you know how much credence to give them. Make notes if you like. OK, so you didn't expect to have to do real research, but again - life's just like that.

In fact, it is a credit and/ or quite remarkable that this forum is so free of spam. (Maybe it's moderated to a level we don't even realise!)
