I thought DU was a bastian of paid posters. Where are the ones from
the pork producers demanding we refer to the Piggy Sicky as the H1N1 virus instead of Swine flu or Piggy Sicky?

12. google ''pay to post'' is publicly acknowledged that it's done for products but...
everyone pretends its a conspiracy theory when you mention it about political discussion boards.

4. I'm not paid and haven't produced pork in the last 30 years, but you cannot get 'swine flu' from

eating pork. And since it's a mixture of human, swine, and bird strains of the flu, it probably shouldn't be called 'swine flu' or 'piggy sicky'.

7. do we get paid by the post or are we on retainer?
I've got a lot of posts under my belt and have a healthy monthly posting rate. Or do I get paid by the word? Or is there a quality metric? I think I deserve a bonus as my posts are high quality ones.

Skinner, where's my check?
