Or maybe they just like watching you try to mind read and second guess them.
And that's entirely true.
But couldn't the same be said about all of those who are so worried about "blog pimps"? Most of the arguments to that is that "Jim said that it was spam", when he actually has done nothing of the kind.
I'll go back to my earlier position: if Jim or the moderators want to ban this poster and nuke his threads, fine. Until then, the default is .. or should be .. anything the market will bear.
