A related technique used to work so well for search engine spiders. I had some software i wrote called 'search engine cloaker'... this was back in the early 2000s... one of the first if not the first to do the shadowy "cloaki

That's great. What's also amusing is how you felt it necessary to provide the diacritical pronunciation guide for "Vaughan"... because I think to most native English speakers we can't imagine any other pronunciation

This is not directionally good because NY already has laws against unauthorized professional practice and deceptive conduct, and S7263 mainly replaces regulator-led enforcement with a vague, fee-shifting private cause of action that is like
