lol - I have been away for a while and did not get a chance to respond earlier.

The facts always get in the way of a good story. Any editor can look at the URL history and knows the facts.

Shoemoney's site was permanently banned from DMOZ way back in 2005 as he attempted to offer a bribe. The site was briefly wrongly listed for 3 weeks before the mistake was realised during the recovery from teh big crash late last year.

He has a track record of link baiting.

This episode is just a lie he made up to get links and traffic to his site. It obviousy worked as look at all the people who fell for it.
