Is it me (likely), or are a huge range of comments here exactly what you'd expect from a company anticipating blow-back based on their changes? I mean it could really be that good, but this feels a little too clean. I.e. are there shill posters here? I suppose someone could look at all the users who posted, get their karma, and created on dates, and build some estimation calculation. Probably could be greatly improved by adding factor such as wether the user has posted recently in other threads, whether potential shills are responding to parent shills, etc. Arms race ...
