something weird

I was reading along and happened on an incredibly bad review. I mean lousy.

But I noticed that the person had a ton of trusters.

So I went to the person's profile page. All of the shown reviews were lousy. But if I looked at the old reviews, they were all VH up to a few months ago, when they all turned NH. The writing completely changed. Everything changed.

Does anyone else find this odd? Am I missing some obvious point, here?

Am I as clueless as I seem to be?

Tune in next time...

Julie

Perhaps they were plagerizing, and now they are not?

Perhaps they used to like the fame of fortune of Epinions, but stopped giving a crap when the cheese was taken away?

Dunno, really.

I should have looked more closely. The NH quality reviews started today.

I wonder if Epinions has a hacker.

Julie -

Even more simple than that, an Epinions log on is cookied. Theoretically, Don could jump on the computer tonight and start posting NH reviews under my sign on. (Yeah, like that's what he wants to do at 2AM)

I'm honestly surprised it doesn't happen more.

Doh!

I should have thought of that.

Obviously, the Diet Cherry 7Up is not increasing my IQ the way I thought it would.
