This website was posted to the blue once.
I think it's a funny site and kind of a fitting tribute to have an faq from here posted there now.

Herm, wait. I didn't see the comment where the author said he was posting this just to get more traffic driven there.
Damn, it doesn't seem like such a nice gesture anymore.

The author didn't say he was posting it to get traffic, one of his readers suggested it.

Actually, the person that made the comment claims to be the author. Of course, anyone can post and give fake info.

Hey everybody, I run Used FAQs and I put in the Meta Filter entry as a shout out to you guys. I love MetaFilter and your site mentioned my site a while back. I was just giving props. I thought I was being clever in the comment... man, I stink at "clever." Sorry for the confusion!!

Prepare to be roasted alive for your precocious attempt at cleverness.

If there's one thing we hate here at MeFi, it's cleverness.
