Maybe macca 779 is a "Blogger" who actually works for EFI Live or some portion of their company.I work for a company who does that.Where else can a company get their target audience to form a different opinion about their product? Talk trash about the competition on forums to help increase awareness about their company, and increase revenue. If he is on as many forums as it sounds, that would be my bet!

Main Entry: 2 - shill
