How many readers do you thing MHA has?

The problem with the whole "secret agent" notion is that businesses
are in ... business.  Paying someone to write to five people is not
a money-making plan unless those five are *major* buyers.  You can
fiddle the numbers any way you like, but I seriously doubt that
you can come up with *any* scenario that makes business sense.

However, *accusing* someone of base motives is a very comforting
thing because it saves people from having to take disturbing
thoughts seriously.

It also has the purpose of poisoning the well, a logical fallacy.
Those who whine about conspiracies, keystroke programs, etc. think
that these whines are a means of increasing their credibility.

And yet, Markey, you and your cadre authored the "Warning" post
yourselves by demonstrating all of its noted behaviours. Take your
bows...don't be shy.
