Normally I would agree with you, but here there are many who post that have English as a second or third language and also a sizable group that fire off quick responses from work.
Both can lead to posts with errors.
I have found value in overlooking the errors.
Spent way too long in automotive and Chronno is correct, it is the reason that police vehicles have certified speedometers. Motorcycle speedometers/odometers are even worse due to the variances in tire diameter especially on a knobby tire like we use on forest service roads. Having ridden in cabs that will go from the left lane to the right land and back again (apparently for no other reason than to travel diagonally down the street instead of a straight line) I would be willing to accept the potential inaccuracies of a GPS mileage calculated at the lower rates Uber charges as opposed to the "precisely" measured monopoly;y rates of the cab company.
OK, you think the law should change. Good for you. You can work to make that change happen, just like anyone else. But what you shouldn't do--and what is wrong and immoral to do--is to just say, "Fuck them! I'm going to do what I want and sit on this bus with these white folks, even if it means violating their rights." That attitude, which is clearly the norm in the deep south (And what glorious preacher leader has made this place so inviting to negros? Hmmm...), is just selfish and childish.

Seems like if this works as planned the procedure will be to automatically click to the 3rd page of the search results.
"Starting next week, we will begin taking into account a new signal in our rankings: the number of valid copyright removal notices we receive for any given site."
This would mean they also have a way to identify invalid copyright removal notices.
So come on Google and share the love, how about restricting the notices from entities that rank high in the number of invalid copyright removal notices.
But isn't this just because the barriers to entry are so low that lots of people attempt to troll and not so much a result of the actual act of trolling.
I think it is similar to psychology, a lot of people (especially parents) practice some form of it but how many are really even the least bit effective at it let alone good?
Back when Ross Perot ran for president, I asked my dad why he supported him. His response was "What this country needs to shake it up is a benevolent dictator"
Whether that was accurate or not I don't know, but I'm thinking that until we vote in a crazy we won't break out of the cycle.
It looks like after fighting the good fight against the IAA's Matt has suffered either a physical or mental trauma that has caused him to adopt the philosophies he previously rejected. He now sees himself as an app developer (artist) and therefore must be paid.
