Admin note: Below are two letter submissions from someone who believes this site is actually run by an insurance company or companies for market research.
Is this true? Nope.
1. A public website bashing one’s own industry for “market research” is a ridiculous idea.
2. This site is run from my home office in Harvey, La.

Folks:
Have any of you noticed yet that there are ads for INSURANCE COMPANIES scattered all over these pages? Ummm. . . what’s wrong with this picture? These are the same entities that aren’t listening to you now. I can’t help but think that they’re getting an enormous laff at our expense with these comments. I hope I’m wrong. I really do. But check it out. Does anybody besides me see an incongruity with this? I know, somebody’s gonna say it’s ‘market research’. NO! Market research isn’t conducted in forum like this. Market research isn’t conducted on the backs of people who have lost all they had and are trying to get back to their pre-Katrina condition. Market research doesn’t include ignoring the information gathered, even if it’s gathered falsely. Please prove me wrong. If this isn’t an insurance company sponsored site, please state that on the splash page. Thanx . . .

Folks, have y’all noticed yet that this is a site that is probably set up and maintained by insurance companies? Look around the pages. What do you see? Ads for INSURANCE COMPANIES. Duh! WHY do you think that might be? I’m not going to belabor the obvious. You’re big boys and girls. You figure it out. THIS IS MARKET RESEARCH! Remember the last line of ‘Soylent Green’? . . . “Soylent Green is. . . PEOPLE!”. Same thing here. We’re all just chips waitin’ for the dip.

Google ads are going to show ads that is relivant to the search words listed in a page. If insurance is mentioned, an ad for insurance will pop up. Just like it does for “blog” or “charities”
stop drumming up conspiracy theories. sheesh.
