Pinging HG only thows fuel on the fire.
We all just want him to go away. He does not contribute at all to the conversation.
Just your old crazy uncle with tourettes sitting in the corner.
Sean Anthony at the Canada Free Press has compiled a scripted program that scans every article written each day for their blog, then recompiles it to automatically upload them to FreeRepublic as if he was a real person.
Those of us who have actually written programed scripts can see what he is doing a mile away. Nine times out of ten he will never answer a comment. Sean Anthony does not care what any FReeper has to say. Sean Anthony just dumps his articles here to get any of us to click the link to his blog. All this, simply to move his blog up on the list of hit counts to add to his revenue. The more hits he can show his advertisers, the more money they pay him.
And I might even think that would be OK with me as long as he could carry on a conversation as all the rest of us do.
That is the issue humblegunner is hung up on. He has a point.
