As further evidence, I thought it was a deliberate pun, along the lines of "shill" as "pretend to be a customer of to drum up custom", although I didn't understand it at the time. -- ais523

Actually, when you pointed out the typo (but before coppro replied), I wondered if it was a distraction for a scam, as in: "shill (n) one who acts as a decoy (as for a pitchman or gambler); (v) to act as a a shill." -G.

Again, I thought it was an intentional error, as coppro, among others, has been known in the past to perform ambiguous actions (see the "copproh" incident), and 'i' is quite far from 'e' on a QWERTY keyboard. But maybe that's because I'm American and very rarely see the word 'shilling', so am more likely to notice it?

I personally saw the message when it was first sent, didn't catch the typo at all, and assumed it worked, so there's evidence it was clear enough to someone, and the typo was trivial, and that's how it was intended by coppro. However, several people thought it was in error. This is like coin flip territory. -G.

Yes, I should have said "the only possibly-standing players".
