More than a decade and a half later and pretentious SEO fanatics still fucking make my eyes roll.
Never forget that the morally correct thing to do if you happen to meet one of these people it to punch them in the mouth.
They make me think of kids who hide food they don't want to eat in stupid places and get all surprised when they realize it makes wherever they were hiding it into a biohazard.
Or anyone who thinks they are getting a free benefit from using something a certain way and completely ignoring that each use ruins it a bit more.
