I made a typo in the title of each of my 2 previous blog posts about polls versus prediction markets. (The content of those blog posts featured the correct spelling, fortunately.)
My apology.
And thanks to the “-research scientist”- who spotted the typo.
IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING THE INCIDENT.
Somebody did set up a website making a fool of me. Searching who is behind this turned out the IP address of the NewsFutures server —-but Emile Servan-Schreiber is as innocent as a lamb because this data was in fact fudged by the attacker (so as to wrongly put the blame on NewsFutures). It might well be the same thing for the IP that connected to comment here.

UPDATE:
Did the attacker try to pin it on, not just one, but *two* prediction market software vendors?

Cowardly bastards …if this can be confirmed I will pass the story on to one of my contacts at the Guardian. And I will ensure that the other cowards who received emails last Friday about the websites, but chose to keep quiet are also exposed- by informing their companies of this obscene example of corporate bullying.
