Has MR been infiltrated? - Page 2

According to my source MobileRead has not been infiltrated by the company in question. My source code named z can be trusted in matters like this. There are other companies that have infiltrated MR though. If you look closely they can be spotted.

A rumor, I'm sure, as I keep up with the buzz on here. I must be having some trouble with my current glasses. I can't spot a thing.

Now, I ask you: Have you ever heard of such an outlandish thing in your life?

Money? (Sticks hand out!) MONEY!

They're not paying me....or Red either.

We'll have to have you do a runway walk against Marc.....

Mmm. Maybe we need more of those. "Feel-good" is not the term that springs to my mind whenever I am forgetful enough to check the threads in General discussions and News

I spend time on the IREX thread and from time to time someone will suggest that one of the denizens of the thread - Shaggy - is an IREX stooge. Now Shaggy posts helpful and and balanced posts and has often got an interesting take on things. But there does seem to be a tendency on the part of some people to believe that if you are not slagging a company off you are in their pocket (or somewhere else, much less polite). I suspect the same mentality is at play here.

I'm immediately calling for a National MR ID Card so that we can identify the illegal Amazonians!

Steven Lyle Jordan · 05-01-2010, 08:47 AM

Now that you mention it, I've come across quite a few stooges around here.

Of course, the same logic would suggest that just about all of us are either in the pocket of the IDPF or Defective By Design...

(Hey, where's my check?!?)

I am an illegal immigrant. When I first got here, ......

Oooops, sorry. Wrong thread.

Sorry, this is Infiltration. Immigration is down the hall.
