   This is TPTB. . .
   
   
   "Of course, Simone's hints earlier in this thread (that the site is struggling to find the money for QAP) might have been misleading. Those ads might be funding the staff's taste in fast cars. Then I could get outraged and envious at the same time."

      I am sorry to be so bothersome but it is so important that I speak to the person with the Tetra Babinsacs.
      
      Could you help me?

                              I have a theory.
                              
                              My theory is that if I leave a rock in one of the troll's threads, it will evolve legs and arms to escape the hellish tedium.
                              
                              So this is the rock:
                              
                              
                              
                              I will be back...

   "I do not like HP using key words from my hubs this way....I feel my name is on the article and I do not want to be associated with the deceptive practice. It would annoy me as a reader to be sent on this wild goose chase.
   
   So thanks for starting the thread on our behalf......hopefully, HP is thinking about the impact of the "related searches' and will answer in their own time. Sometimes a little noise is a necessity for change."

   "The only reason left to write on HP, is that it is a powerful platform and can get you views.
   
   Well, it is a lot less powerful than it used to be.
   
   To be honest, Blogspot is just as good.
   
   Major difference is, you don't need to split earnings.
   
   And no-one puts unrelated RS links on your posts to lure visitors away."

       This thread is obviously exerting an immense evolutionary pressure on this previously lifeless rock.
       
       Sheer desperation is forcing it to bend the laws of God and Science and Cooking.

             But what is worrying me is that the rock is gone.

    Maybe if you posted smaller rocks... say a pebble maybe, our burdens would be lighter... you wouldn't have thought of that though, being a 94.
