Yes. SI is installing "Cookies" in subscribers computers based on the quality of their posts.

Definitely on your best humor behavior this morning, Bill. Keep it up.

Advertisers know that the lower quality posters are suckers for the "Free Trip" type of approach, and the cookies are installed on that basis.

wouldn't advertisers know that impoverished posters are the true suckers for such an approach? so why don't they target the G&K thread instead, for direct exposure to their target audience?
