Wow, what makes this even more amazing is that this Neil guy, after being proven that he deserves this award, continues to try to twist things around.. Neil, heres a hint, when everyone thinks you are stupid except you..Chances are you are stupid.

But I think I see past all of this. Neil is simply trying to win the stupid cow of the decade award by continuously displaying stupidity. Let's just give it to him, hes trying so hard lol.

Anyway feel free to reply Neil. I won't check this thread again. I know you like to have the last word, no matter how dumb it sounds. :mrgreen:

Hi Neil

Thanks for nominating me, lets hope I win :twisted:

It didn't say it was approved or anything like it. It said there was a new comment on the post. Period. Never even mentioned it was a reply to my post.

Thanks - I will. I'd like to nominate the next stupid cow of the month award to fatgadet for visiting a post about someone apparently failing to read something properly - and then posting a comment that indicates HE failed to read my previous comments properly......I checked the site AFTER I received the email (continuously for about 5 minutes).

And finally, @John - You're right, this could go on and on. I was initially harsh - like I admitted, but I think you need to see that you were a little quick to create this post - maybe taking it a bit too personal.

Sigh, we give up Neil. You're right, we're wrong. No point in arguing with you.

You keep making assumptions, creating a smokescreen trying to manipulate our readers opinion in your favor. We're just stating the facts Neil and anyone with half a brain can see that.

We appreciate your efforts but we feel you're giving us too much credit by doing so.

Now that's the last we have to say about it. Feel free to comment so you can have the last word.

Wow ! Never mind 'Stupid Cow of the Month Award', Neil if you carry on like this your going to be in the running for the 'Stupid Cow of the year award'

Lets explain what happened because I can see clearly.

You posted your comment, when you post on a new blog for the first time it is held in the spam filter until a moderator approves it.

You obviously looked at the site again and saw your comment wasn't published, at the same time Mr Moo approved your comment and replied to it.

You then got an automated email saying there was a reply to your comment, to which you replied to.

I can see where the confusion has arisen, but if you take a step back, and think about this you may be able to see exactly what happened.

:grin:

John, how exactly is that losing credibility? Judging by some of the comments you're receiving of late I'd say the same for you. Don't you want your readers to know that you were spamming SEO forums (designed to help users wade through the mass of dis-information) to get traffic through to your articles? I'm just pointing out that I think the initial article was a bad one. Also - my credibility certainly doesn't rest on you and your readers - some of who post quality comments like 'dumbass' - how very 'Macho'.

Re: And This Month’s Stupid Cow Award Goes To…

John Cow — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 05:09:16 -0000

You're so full of it. Stop twisting and turning, you're losing credibility by the comment.

Neil Turner — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 04:17:01 -0000

Lewis - thanks for the support lol. Anyway - what I also didn't say is that I found the post because John created a thread in a forum mainly for SEOs - which in my opinion is really wasting peoples time. Also - the thread just linked to his article - and I agree that John obviously knew the answer to this question. I should've explained this earlier. It was this fact that annoyed me as there is too much incorrect information going around regarding SEO. Also - yes you can reply to no-approved posts depending on the software you use - or maybe John decided to take the comments down - then re-approved them. Who knows. Who cares.

Heh, I read the post and all of the comments, and through those comments Neil continues to prove his stupidity. Yes, he does deserve the Stupid Cow Award. I mean come on... How can you say the comment wasn't published when you replied to an email saying it was? Tsk tsk. Interesting post though, definitely drew me in. :)

Re: And This Month’s Stupid Cow Award Goes To…

John Cow — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 18:24:12 -0000

A. There's no reply option for comments in the admin panel.
B. Anyone can setup a blog, it's really not that hard.
C. Not going to explain it again.
D. Thanks for nominating us!

Perhaps I'm being stupid (I'd appreciate the award if I am :mrgreen:), but don't Wordpress admins still see unapproved comments? If so, then John Cow was an admin and so could have replied to an un-approved post.

Also, I had the same reaction as Neil. I presumed that if you were clever enough to set-up this site you would understand the concept of cookies.

As for replying to an automated message, you still got the email so how was that stupid? I do it all the time when I want to turn a comment in to a private conversation.

I think you're being a little harsh on him, and that you yourself deserve the award for your question in the first place :twisted:

That's seriously funny! Poor Neil. Seems to have gotten his knickers in a bit of a twist.

Anyway, thanks for the credit, and best of luck with the blog. You've got a fan :)

wtf? what are you spamming?

Re: And This Month’s Stupid Cow Award Goes To…

Steven — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 18:28:46 -0000

Neil, another reason why you might think that the comment didn't show up is because all first time commentator's comments must wait for moderation and approval before it shows up (that doesnt mean it doesn't post, just not visible to the public yet) and I'm sure that Mr. Cow isn't sitting there every second of the day to moderate and approve every single comment as it comes in immediately. That is just speculation on why it was delayed.

After the initial post however, all post goes live right after posting as no further moderation is required. This is simply to avoid spam.

I take back what I said in my first comment, Neil definetly deserves this award :twisted:

Joyce Babu — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 12:07:51 -0000

@Neil - I really liked your replies (ofcourse, except the first one). You should have read the post well before you made your first comment. It was clearly pointed out in the post that Mr. Cow was proposing an idea which he was not sure. He wasn't speaking technically, he was just making a suggestion. After all when the idea struck him, he thought of sharing it. We have to appreciate his good will.

And I don't think that Neil was too dumb to reply to an automated message. To be frank I have 5 other websites and I do check (I don't say I read through) each and every mail I receive, including the spam box atleast once a week. And I have a catch all set for all domains, hence it doesn't matter to which address the person replies. This might be because of the very small number of spam mails I receive.

Wow.. I think it's going to be REALLY HARD to top that level of cow stupidity!

Re: And This Month’s Stupid Cow Award Goes To…

Neil Turner — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 08:10:51 -0000

But really - like I said. I'll have to nip this in the bud as I can't spend all my days on JohnCow.com. I accept the award. Many thanks.

Re: And This Month’s Stupid Cow Award Goes To…

Neil Turner — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 08:08:48 -0000

Yep. Shame when I received the email and refreshed the site neither my, nor your comments were there. I complain then wow - suddenly they appear.
