No baby; no so-called 'God' either. I merely make observations based on the
published literature from a reputable source. Even an army of a dozen shills
can't deny the truth by pointing to 'some blog' and calling me a liar
('shoot the messenger' tactic). COLA won its level of 'noise' not because of
participation by low society. Au contraire. COLA speaks about topics that
could sometimes lead Web site-based forums to closure; they provoke
companies which loathe the bitter truth whose dissmention is made possible
(even indexed) owing to the explosive growth, reach and maturity of the
World Wide Web.
