User talk:D4-JimKnF3

Earlier today, Sun Nov 20, 2011, while search for email address(es) contact information for Google Canada, I arrived at the JustAnswer.com site. Several things about this site were suspecious; so I sent them feedback to this effect, then came here to Wikipedia to check out JustAnswer. One thing not mentioned in your article and links about this company is that once visitors land on this site, then try to leave without providing their credit card information, they will find they are blocked from navigating away from this site. For instance, I found today that the only way to leave their site was to cut the power to my laptop and remove the battery, then restore power and restart. Even going offline, or cutting my connection to the Web did not work, because as soon as I went back online I was immediately returned to JustAnswer.com Apparently, and they will of course deny this, their site's server is programmed to capture the visitor's client computer Internet Protocol (IP) information so that as soon as the user returns online on the same computer they are immediately returned to JustAnswer.com (Somehow the client computer is even directed by JustAnswer's server to even bypass its homepage and just go directly to JustAnswer.com). It is also possible that since the genuine JustAnswer.com site is rather popular, in that it appears at the top of search results lists and is one of the 200 most visited, that it has "mimics" out there that are not legitimate, like the one I landed on earlier today; especially given traffic volumes and the fact of requiring advance payment online. Also suspicious today was that the site I visited (legitimate or not) presented to have 100s or 1000s of satified users in every single catagory of questions (eg. Computers, Cars, Internet, you name it) and not a single user in any catagory anywhere who was dissatisfied. Such statistical perfection is simply not humanly possible in any genuine sense. Given these suspicions, unless users feel highly confident from past experince, in JustAnswer, and feel they really know the Company, they should probably stay away from this site.

On a lighter note, I think Wikipedia is great; and regard it as being as objective as possible, highly informatative, very reliable totally unpretentious, and very transparent and honest; making it, apart perhaps from public broadcasters (eg.BBC), among the best source of meaningful, amply-linked, information on the Web. Also appreciated is the fact that Wikipedia is set up as a foundation and not a for-profit company. Your site is also very user friendly, easy to navigate, and easy to search and find what one is looking for. (Quite unlike many large corporate sites, especially in the tech. sector eg. Google, HP, Go-Daddy, Yahoo, Microsoft and Adobe, to name just a few.)

In closing, I was very pleased to discover your Talk Pages today, as I had not known about this feature before. Needless perhaps to say, the nature of Wikipedia (as alluded to above) has made me a loyal and dedicated supporter.
