Right. I believe a "shill" in the context as Finn (Correct me if I'm wrong, Pat.) has used the term, is someone who has a stake in
selling or pushing a particular item, book, or membership in a specific organization.
I don't recall my or anyone ever trying to sell or push anything, here at PC. Until certain characters appeared, apparently pushing gold and posting articles from singular sources, repeatedly.
