I agree with you that thiskind of things could happen *by accident* (and
apparently it has already happened), but my understanding of the article is
that this is done *deliberately*.

May I requote my yesterday's message:

According to the guy who posted the article, it is an *advertisement*.

That's what makes me in trouble.

I don't know if anyone know "Mirabella Magazine" but it would probably be
the best way to know more about this story (and by the way, it is the May
issue, not the April one :-).
