Okay, now what is a "Shill" ?

It's really more discreet to look it up.<BR>http://www.infoplease.com/ipd/A0650377.html

Well, I hope it was not a fictitious post, but maybe I should have been more leery. Rare is the family with 11 kids, age 17 and under, who can afford this - - and not have been able to afford it all along.<BR><BR>If it should turn out to be true that "Mom" is a shill, will I have been stupid or wrong to have made what was intended as a sincere and well-meaning offer?<BR><BR>Maybe.<BR>

The funny thing about the internet and especially fodors is that you could be the one asking and the one giving the answer and noone could really be sure. Not that this happened in this case but who knows.

You're absolutely right. It could happen. But I promise you that I posted the messages on this thread with my name on them, and only those messages.<BR><BR>Best...<BR><BR>R<BR>
