LPC, yes you (and I'm sure a million others) had the idea, but BibChr marketed it more effectively, as has been done here. I gasped at the headline and had to click. I mean, admit it, the guy "sold" the headline. He thought enough of the idea to package it and promote it, *gasp* as its own thread!
Like an artist that thinks enough of his work to pay for a decent frame.
A million others may have had the same thought. How many formed it fully enough to verbalize it? How many actually wrote it down? How many shared it publicly? Anyone? Bueller?
Does a thread differ from a post from a "marketing" standpoint? I'm not sure how either one makes anyone a dime. Perhaps there are ways to turn a buck off of someone who is *gasp* gullible enough to click this "story" for anything other than amusement purposes. I could be rich!
