But that's not the form of the comment. It begins with "I think there’s a good chance it was ghost written by a content farm"!
- thom 4y agoIf I were a content farm I'd probably use text cut and pasted from text models, but I'd never heard of the Mikkelson Twins and it was interesting to learn about them.
- coldtea 4y agoyes, so? can't we parse beyond the opening statement of the comment, and see the rest of its content? can't a comment not reiterate in its opening statement what the author already said (to e.g. show the commentor's aggrement)? this is too formulaic and pedantic a response
