He is a certified computer technician, web developer and programmer. Your point? You can argue this until your face turns Blue. I still state they do not. If Matt states they do then I will post a rebuttle until then my opinion sticks.

I understand that the normal layperson may not see the difference between the BC onclick and the one discussed in the threads cited by you and Shawn, but it is a huge one. The ones that Matt and Brian were discussing take you to a different page than what the href attribute points to, and it is for that exact reason that they don't pass PageRank. BC merely processes a JavaScript function first, but the link still behaves like a link. Trust me, you are wrong. -Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: Rose DesRochers To: 'Michael VanDeMar' Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 5:20 PM Subject: RE: Michael I'm not wrong and I was not defending Shawn. I dislike Andy and I have said that before. I recommend you read my other discussions with Andy. I can not stomach the guy. I dislike him with a passion. :-) In my opinion he is a guppy. :-) His evidence is not factual. OMG- LMFAO! I did not make you look bad at all, but uh thanks. Like- whatever!

I would like to mention something to you though... you happen to be in the wrong on this issue on several counts. The post Shawn wrote about the links not passing PageRank due to the fact that they have an onclick event in them is just plain incorrect. If need be I can demonstrate this to you, but since it was already fully discussed on Andy's blog I'm not sure you would understand. When you replied on Andy's blog, regardless of how you feel about him, you were replying out of emotion needlessly defending Shawn. Andy didn't write "this Shawn dude is obviously ignorant and should be ignored"... no, he wrote a well thought out factually correct assessment of the situation. It doesn't happen to matter if Andy is involved and has something to gain, or if there are other problems with Blogcatalog (now or in the past)... the truth is he posts facts, actual verifiable tidbits of things as they really are. Your response to those truthful facts were to call him "nothing more than a BC Guppy". At this point it does not matter whether he is a "guppy" or not... your calling him that in response to him posting factual evidence makes you the wrong one, the one out of line, not him. Ok, said my piece. Off to read what you wrote about me now before you read this and decide to slant it to make me look bad (or worse, depending on what you already wrote). :) Peace. -Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: Rose DesRochers To: 'Michael VanDeMar' Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 4:41 PM Subject: RE: Michael I hope that you don't mind my mentioning you in a post about Sphinn and Guppies. :-) I quoted you.
