Well in theory you can't, of course, but in practice, I think it's pretty hard to do a believable job without a lot of effort (humans are pretty good at detecting the sort of subtle inconsistencies that result from a half-assed job), and I don't know if they're really getting paid enough to put in that much work. Of course they may be convincing enough to fool the gullible, but then, well, pretty much everything is. :-) Perhaps more damaging is the sort of suspicion and paranoia that may result from knowing there _could_ be astroturfers around... -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
