"A shill is an associate of a person selling goods or services or a political group, who pretends no association to the seller/group and assumes the air of an enthusiastic customer.

Shills are often employed by confidence artists and governments." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill > Who is M...? > Namaste But you already knew that. -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
