  1. Why is the article so poorly written? Anonymous should consider taking time out of their busy hacking schedules to learn some proper grammatical etiquette. Just saying.

    • I agree…I found myself having to re-read certain sentences a few times. Having an article proofread by an associate before publishing, would make a huge difference.

    • Not to be “that guy” but as long as I can understand what the writer means by his writing it bares no meaning to me if it’s grammatically correct or not. (Sorry if I gave some people an eyesores by improper grammar or spelling but english is not my native tongue)

  2. I have to agree. The writing of this article is atrocious. The author must still be at Jr. College and probably getting low grades. Makes one wonder about the pool of talent Anonymous has to draw from. I would say almost all the articles I’ve read on this site are amateur level. I think the whole staff must consist of skaters with acne problems, in hoodies , shod in grimy Chucks. Check out their sterling piece about eyeglasses. It’s instructive in that it shows how far Anonymous has to go to-or as sunk. Maybe this site is not even really an Anonymous site but some wanna be script kiddy punks. Just saying.
