    Is Dealmaker a newsbot that hotlinks articles? I see tons of new threads started with no personal comments, only a reiteration of already published articles. Are we not all capable of using Google?

    My theory is that he/she is employed by Baron as a favour. Dealmaker is either a relative (nephew, whatever) or a friend's son/daughter. The point is to generate discussion and more pageviews. He/she could be physically disabled so this is a nice job for such person.

    I could be wrong, but hey when was the last time I was wrong?

    @Baron definitely has paid users come in and generate discussion. I don't hold it against him and he cannot publicly admit it.

    It is a business after all.

    Lastly, @Pekelo was wrong about his wife not being the town whore. I saw those two on Maury.

    Well then, I am doing him a solid by creating this thread.

    That theory is incorrect.

    I've never once paid a user to post. And that's going all the way back to the very beginning 23 years ago.

    If I paid someone to post, I would admit it when asked. But such is not the case.

    No. Never met him either.
     
  10. I like Dealmakers threads

    Seems to find some “off the beaten track” interesting stuff.
    Not sure how many “likes” he has but must have damn near 100 from me.

    Keep up the good work Dealmaker!
