I obviously make too many typos and grammatical errors and rant on personal issues too much on DU to be paid for what I write. My posts are obviously the work of an unfocused amateur.
There is no rule against being paid to post, but when I suspect someone of being a party-line bot, I just think about that when I see another of their posts.
