The suggestion that there is a financial benefit here seems a bit of a straw man to me.
Then you don't know what a strawman is.  |

I wouldn't even know about this fanzai malarky if I didn't read people moaning about it.

"Straw Man": A false argument.
Suggesting financial benefit is a false argument.
You are welcome :-)

A strawman is where a party in a debate constructs a weak argument that can be easily defeated making them look victorious, it's an argument that the opposition did not even put forward. A footy related example: I think it's too soon to be saying we're going down. Oh, so you think we're going up then! The 'going up' argument was never proposed in the first place an is easier to attack than simply 'not going down' http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawmanYou are thinking of something else. A red-herring perhaps, or just a lie. But not a strawman. Trust me, I know my logical fallacies. I help to manage a theological debate group that has over 50,000 members, I do this a lot. Your welcome :-) |

It's now totalsport they have obviously removed the auto forward on the linksport webpage thinking people would know by now Either that or as Sam is on his own he's removed the auto forward by accident being so busy |

Ha. It's actually quite cool (If you're into that kind of thing). It can be very interesting, educational, fun and often comes with a large slice of Schadenfreude. |
