No, they have every right to do that - that is part of free discussion. But something does not sit quite right... I just deleted a lengthy post rebutting you, because I realized that quoting this is all I need. You profess to support fr

As the neighbor comment points out, EV validation is absolutely not a waste of money. I've been part of A/B testing on most aspects of domain security and it's arguably one of the best ROIs out there for e-commerce sites. Th

I used to take the N-Judah to work downtown every day and the trains were at most half-full. How long ago? The N-Judah trains are packed like sardines inbound in the morning and outbound in the evening. They've started running empt

Actually, I work and am friends with a number of ex-Uber employees, did contract work for them years ago, have driven for them in the past... But you certainly think that the few words of mine you've read seem to give you ample perspe

OP is not correct so... I guess you're not a physicist? Logic is rough, man.
