    The END. Please.

    I'm really tired of arguing with you. So let's please put it to bed after this.

    You should do your homework. This coupon service is not related to Cingular and comes at no cost to the end user. It is a service that is currently supported only on Cingular phones. According to the website, they will support other service providers in the future. Each use of a coupon is paid by the retailer to the coupon service provider. So yes, end users essentially get a free lunch.

    I am not a spammer, so I'd appreciate if you take back your insults.

    Again, you are misrepresenting me in front of the entire newsgroup audience and it is NOT appreciated.

    If I were a spammer I wouldn't care to respond to your insults or remove my link because I'd only be making money off the people who view this post. But I genuinely wanted to help others and I hate being misrepresented with false accusations.

    responds, you're welcome to post again with more specific information,
    including a real url and a contracted one if you think it would be
    helpful. In your original message, you identified your reference as an
    article, which for most people infers a commercial website - without the
    real url, we have no way to know. If it's a blog full of adhoc
    opinions, say so.
    I didn't know that you authored the rules to this forum. I've read the terms of usage and I don't need to ask to share my discovery with other fellow Cingular users and post a link to a personal blog that shares information/opinions of the service. I purposely posted the link to a blog and NOT directly to the website to avoid flamers. If you had actually checked the link, you'd know. The use of the term "article" was a miscommunication on my part but the URL was NOT hidden. On mouseover, the URL was clearly presented in your status bar.

    nature gets a vacation. I likened your original post to me waking up
    early one morning to find a billboard freshly planted on my street, so I
    figured it deserved a lit match.
    Maybe you should have put your glasses on before you looked out the window and saw the supposed "billboard."

    And - to be fair about what is really going on here - you have got to admit
    that with the NUMEROUS posts that you have made in other areas on the
    internet:

    http://www.phoneobsessed.com/ftopic32337.php

    And saying pretty much the same thing (in some cases verbatim) then one has
    to wonder if you Do have a vested interest in the coupon "deal" or you have
    so much free time on your hands that you can spend the time to re-enter all
    of these posts about this topic.

    Someone pull out your Webster and give us "Shill". Wait - I will do it.
    (stolen from dictionary.com)

    shill ( P ) Pronunciation Key (shl) Slang n.
    One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe
    bystanders into participating in a swindle.

    v. shilled, shill·ing, shills
    v. intr.
    To act as a shill.

    v. tr.

    To lure (a person) into a swindle.

    Uhhh... mpedia and phoneobsessed are the EXACT SAME THING as cellphoneforums.net. They are EXACT replicas of what is going on here. I'm sorry but I don't have time to go and copy EVERYONE'S reply and recreate the entire discussion there.

    I POSTED TWICE. Howard and Cellphoneforums. The ONE post on Howard which was admittedly similar to this one but only because I check the forum there regularly. You didn't mention my other posts:

    http://www.phonescoop.com/forums/for...ff=4&fi=476740
    http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=633508
    http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=672379

    Check the dates. I AM JUST A REGULAR USER. PLEASE STOP MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A CRIMINAL. I'M SORRY FOR TRYING TO HELP EVERYONE SAVE SOME MONEY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

    I think I see why people have been mislead. I visited the other forums mpedia and phoneobsessed (the replicas) and the links show up as http://tinyurl.com/xxxxx. I did NOT post that. I put a direct link to gigaom.com/xxxx but for some reason they don't show up like that.
    This was the link:
    "hxxp://gigaom.com/2005/12/26/santa-brought-some-web-20-goodies"

    Gigaom is a personal blog of a writer for Business 2.0.

    I did not intentionally try to mask the link at all. For those of you who don't believe me, try posting the link yourself on cellphoneforums.net and check out one of the replica sites.

    -edit-
    and I was not lying about the $8,900 cell phone bill. Read about it here:
    http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=806246.

    "hxxp://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=806246"
    I did not mask this link. I want to avoid any other miscommunication.
