>> The guy told me I should really embellish my responsibilities, etc., on the form.

I was actually told this on the phone by someone answering the Cringely tipline. I was told that providing a verified bit of information (How to hang NT3.5) didn't get me a subscription, but lying my ass off on the form would. The specific reason given was to "pump up the numbers for the advertisers". According to this person, the vendors knew this but it allowed them to say that "InfoWorld, which is read by people who spend $xxx, recommends this product".
