I'm not sure this is worth a MetaTalk thread. The AskMe will be deleted shortly, I'm sure.

I sense naivety rather than sinister motives. I have been wrong before but let's not quibble about the whole of my life up to this point.

It's so dodgy that someone can sign up and post to Projects on the same day.

The site is a touch weird too:

Is it true that black people have an extra muscle in their legs. I heard that when I was a kid and am wondering

I'm sick of giving spammers to this site more hits because the callouts don't specify what it is. The askme thread was posted 20 minutes ago. We can give mods a chance to take care of things.

There is no reason for this metatalk thread. I'm sure it's been flagged but there is this feeling, I suppose, that matt and jessamyn check metatalk first before checking for flagged threads. I doubt this is the case.

I'm also concerned that his mojo asppears to be stolen. Do we really want to encourage that here? Matt could be liable.

And it's not innocent confusion. User posts project; user posts askme "question" that claims they "found" the site. This is (imbicilic) deceptive shilling. Ban and ban hard.
