Gentlemen,
Fortunately this arcane pet buzzword is fairly rare in everyday
usage. Thus it is easy to skip all the postings with "shill" if one
wishes to: http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/abusive.html#killfile
Either by the subject or by body of the entire posting.
Furthermore: http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/crospost.html
http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/quote.html
http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/netiquet.html
As for the meaning actual word, e.g. the Merriam Webster's
Collegiate� Dictionary seems to define it as
1 : to act as a shill
2 : to act as a spokesperson or promoter <the eminent Shakespearean
producer, director, actor and star... is now shilling for a
brokerage house -- Andy Rooney>
All the best, Timo
