This thread...I don't know what's more WTF that getting paid $150 to be part of a focus group was apparently such a highlight for the OP's life that he felt the need to post this shit twice (or more since I'm getting the impression he's probably posted this story everywhere online), or that he's pissed at getting found out for being a full of shit troll.

Sorry...your "proof" is two dead links, a link to a company and a c/p'd e-mail that has nothing to do with your story? Focus group paid me a million dollars to be me. Proof below:

1.) Rossman's link to the $1,000,000 awesomeness reward: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=38&threadid=1697852&enterthread=y (you can see the actual URL, but it's broken).

2.) 2.There are 52 market research companies in Boston that will pay you $1,000,000 for being awesome. Call up to be added to their Focus Group list. (link is dead though).

3.)Hey the company is still kicking, I should repost this in Hotdeals...because everyone who is awesome should get $1,000,000. :p

What, big mac and dandelions? Wife and I had an AMAZING first anniversary- we went to wineries in Long Island, and our wedding caterer invited us to their new restaurant & treated us all out. Great night.

Since most of your posts are semi-truths, I'll conclude that you brown bagged tetra-paks of wine from the local liquor store, and that McDonald's catered your wedding and you received a coupon for a free Big Mac on your first anniversary.

See this is what i'm talking about. I want to believe you, I really do but you probably already made a thread about how you took her to taco bell and someone came in and shot the place up.

I just can't take anything you say seriously now :(

Oh I remember this troll- rga.

Remember I got you real mad when I finally confronted you (after weeks of trolling from nowhere) and turned the whole forum against you? You were saying bunch of totally random crap back then too. What, big mac and dandelions? Wife and I had an AMAZING first anniversary- we went to wineries in Long Island, and our wedding caterer invited us to their new restaurant & treated us all out. Great night.

You have this eerie attraction to my wife, you keep bringing her up- a year ago then and today. lol, I get the weirdos of internet. I don't blame you though, my wife is pretty hot. :)

For those who regular this forum, how do you guys deal with these toxic people?

Me continuing to responding to you guys will only feed the trolls. I'm done replying. :)

Pics of wife?
