9. About 20 years ago, 2 guys in my town, Maplewood, N.J., started a web site.

Oct 2014

It is devoted to news and affairs of our town and neighboring South Orange. There are a couple of added towns but those links have little traffic.

Anyways, the site still runs (Maplewood Online) and the brothers are making profit off it.

To the point: In the community forum, people are always praising or denigrating local businesses. With the praise, there are sometimes disclaimers, mostly from new posters who explain they do not own the business. We know most of the regular posters so they do not disclaim.

Then comes the random post from a person with a new "handle." This person wants to tell us about the experience just had with the new ..... shop or service that opened in the next town. The writing is so stilted that it sticks out.

This is then followed by wonderful snark.
