Since the patlive service and all those 'answering services' that you get are basically faciliating a scam, I'm sure a serious prosecutor could get a court order telling them to pa…

I can't imagine why this ever would make sense. Only scammers would benefit would accept this, because of the lack of clarity in ownership, it's like a deliberate attempt to circum…

I hate your business helping middlemen scalpers. Middlemen scalpers are just barely different than phone scammers. It may not be technically illegal, but it's a detriment to societ…

When (probably not an if at this point) there are meat substitutes that are palatable to carnivores, will vegetarians accept them, meaning eat them? It's an interesting question, b…

helm was $300 for a time - $100 a year service fee after. I see they are now showing out of stock. And they started to add other services, including hosting some services on it wit…

I also thought the article's trustworthiness based on how it was written and presented was difficult to ascertain. I had never heard of that publication.
