I don't understand why such people waste their time creating such crap. Its just time waste, no more no less.

Not much time wasted by them - and boy, does it show!

Rep points, and possible CV / resume references (hoping like heck that the prospective employer doesn't actually look at the articles / tips themselves and just goes "Wow!" at the thought of someone who can write... D'Oh! | :doh:

)

I think we should still give him a try. I sent a message that also the texts have to be his own so I'd still give him a chance to participate if he comes up with his own explanations.

Personally, I would leave the member alone at this point. He/she claims to have no connection to axolot and the feeling I'm getting is that the member is just trying to make a (biased) comparison.

The images even point back to the original article. D'Oh! | :doh:
