I didn't realise that your people owned a thread. How do I get to own a thread.

I actually suggested that several days ago, but others felt that the insects should be allowed in. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Hypesters, Touts, and other Bizarre Creatures. This is sort of a microcosm of what goes on all the time on the "$5 and Under" threads. They are chock full of paid touts, lunatics and other humanoid fringe inhabitants that are not particularly excited about somebody finding out the truth about them. Some people post under their real names and make sense. Others post under an alias and make sense. Some post under their real name and are complete and utter morons. Others post under an alias, are morons, and have some other reasons for being here. Bill, Janice, and Jeff have all acquired some followers that aren't happy with them or their activities at exposing scams. That's what you are watching in action.
