Authors anonymously giving their work high ratings!?!

This article cracked me up. Apparently there was a glitch in Amazon.com’s Canadian site recently that exposed the true names of people who had “anonymously” reviewed books on the site.

What did the glitch reveal? That book authors had given their own books glowing reviews while using fake names.

So my question to you is, how many of you have done this to your own extensions posted to the Macromedia Exchange? :- )

  1. I wish could have ;)

    I mean, you can’t vote more than once on the Exchanges, you just can edit the rating you give to a certain Extension, which is good.

    …or am I wrong?
