No, I'm just laconic. However, we may be faced, eventually, with a new industry, let's tentatively call it Wikifarming: after the gold farming industry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_farming Although wikifarming, if it takes off, is more likely to have a major locus in India than in China. But anyone fluent in English (or major language) with lots of education and no money is vulnerable to getting sucked in.

Fred sent the original post to both this mailing list (wiki-en-l) and the (closed) functionaries list (where there are checkusers). There seems to have been some overlap and inadvertent cross-posting. I'd e-mail John if you want to follow up on this request you have made.
Fred, it might be better in future to post separately, to keep threads separate.
And Will, it's not a protected blank page. It says "The action you have requested is limited to Checkusers."

It would say that they have been checkusered, by me and another checkuser.
If you dont have access to Checkuser, you can get the gist of it from the contribs and block log, which are accessible to everyone.
