The whole thing sounds ridiculous to me.   If a forum is not interesting
enough on its own merits, a likely outcome is a lot paid, uninterested
subscribers talking to each other.  And I find even the most vulnerable of
health-concerned people (cancer patients) are now very skeptical about
anything that directs them to commercial sites.    If not,  they should be.

Well, you know how it works - whenever someone puts something out
there that
the loop group doesn't want out there -- people hit the one star --
hell, you got 5 stars from one user for your
reply.    I also perceive whenever I have written someone that the
Good Housekeeping Loop Group doesn't approve of,
that ridiculous comments always follow.

Ridiculous or not, people are getting paid.  Spin Marketing at it's
best!!

Which leaves the question of how this relates to MHA -- it's
not exactly as though the ad revenues are impressive.

The propoganda and defamation of opposing views translate into
perceived credibiulity of the special interest groups.
That is why they pay posters to defame and tidicule opposition to
their aqgenda.

It is not in the ads, it is in the products and services that the
revenue are generated.

But you knew that already.

No, and I still don't.  This appears to be part and
parcel of your complete certainty that I'm one of
those paid-to-posters.  Which you manifestly don't
believe yourself, despite all of the bluster and
bluff.

Or were you going to put your money where your mouth
is after all?

Didn't think so.

I don't think anyone really thinks you are being paid to post.
However, with your email address -- it has crossed my mind
that you could be a sock puppet -- for that dude down in Apple Valley.
This is based on Timmie's information that he posted on this subject
matter that
brought this information forward -- after all this is not really a
lumbercartel.

You're taking lessons in network architecture from /Timmie/ ?

Let's just say that Timmie's skills in computer forensics
are not even up to his other detective abilities.  Ask
someone who has been past the fifth grade to tell you
about my location.

Google has it down well enough that the targeted ads on
sites I visit are in the same zip code.

You've said yourself where you live.
It kind of makes you wonder about those that may or may not be engaged
in national security.

Yup, and they you tell us that Timmie has me located in
Apple Valley.

Easy enough for anyone with basic skills to figure out,
which implies that those who have problems either lack
skills or don't really want the truth.

Nope---that's not where you have said you lived.

I'm not sure if there are people in this forum that get paid to post
or not.
I'm not sure that is something that anyone would indeed brag about,
but
I find it interesting, that it does exist on some forums in the first
place.
How it relates to MHA is if indeed people get paid to post.  Can you
imagine
all of the people here if they got paid for every insult that they
have posted
on a consumer newsgroup at consumers who they (in their ever so humble
opinion)
are not smart enough to be able to figure out a hoax all on their very
own.  If it sounds
too good to be true, it probably isn't true, same for conventional and
alternative health.

The prime example I love to use is the shampoo commercial for the 60's
that showed
how by using this certain type of shampoo that it could fix the split
ends.  How many
people bought that product thinking that by using that shampoo really
did fix their split ends?
I had a friend that swore by one of those products.  I said, let's do
the logic together.  Would it
be possible to "mend" a split end?  Even Puff the Magic Dragon's
supply of "sealing wax" couldn't
handle that job!!

She finally "got it" when we cut off her split ends, and soaked them
in the shampoo---those split ends
never mended.

Oh, the power of the spin-------

The power of the spin is directly prportional to the intelligence
level of the recipient.
This is what the "Spin doctors" use to their advantage.
