[kj] Some more "reports"

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

Websites and especially blogs are constantly seeking new content in order to maintain site visits and enhance search engine relevance. If you don't add new content, people stop visiting and site ranking plummets. A common practice is to simply re-post material from other sources, with slight variations, as you can see in all the "mainstream" stories posted by Mr. Frenzy. The same thing happened when Raven died.
