Subject: Help with sneaky advertising, please!!
An interesting technical problem has beeen brought to my attention. Let's, purely hypothetically, that there is a dormant thread called "Review: new Boat Band fan". And say I played in this hypothetical band, and say I hada trace on this thread, and could find it in my personal pages. Now I could bring this thread up for general attention by posting "refresh" to it, and there it would be at the top of the list. But people might see my name as the author of the post and say "Look, Greg is trying to flog his bloody CDs again". So, say I disable my cookie, preparatory to posting"refresh" under the pseudonym of "GUEST:discerning music-lover". But, with a disabled cookie I cant get into my personal pages to access the thread. And as far as I can see, that's it, impasse. Because I think the recent threads havent been indexed yet, if that is the correct term. So there's no way to find it. Now, I dont have a computer(I have cable tvaccess). Perhaps there is an answer to this problem with a computer? Or even with my technology, but I just don't know the route to follow.
Well, there's the question. Purely hypothetical, as I say. Does it have an answer?
