In many people's minds, he is indistinguishable from the site admins. I've seen comments on other message boards and forums where people are saying things like "Dawkins has scored an own goal here" or worse.JeremyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992177336646447781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191002594722668847.post-84202496446295645592010-02-24T02:30:54.722+02:002010-02-24T02:30:54.722+02:00@ssh, Richard Dawkins is Josh's customer.

Find out the name of Josh's company (upperbranch or summat) and post blogs on that. 85,000 users searching should put that near the top of google results.<br /> PR from this is bad for Dawkins, but there's no reason Josh would give a shit, and no price to be paid by him. Unless potential customers see that he's capable of costing them so much goodwill.<br /> Web design is PR, no matter how good a designer you are, no one's going to hire you if you're going to offend their entire customer base.<br />Shh.(lol, "Shh" from rd.net,not "shh you!"shhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224536743403062849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191002594722668847.post-54665105540762685262010-02-23T22:09:09.407+02:002010-02-23T22:09:09.407+02:00Check these out, darkchilde.
