mlmbd, when you've hung around these Boards longer, you'll realize you don't have to worry about being banished. Shrapnel has built up a really good community here, one that's remarkably patient and tolerant.
A person has to be mind-bogglingly obnoxious to get kicked from these Boards. Worse than pop-up ads, even.
This thread has drawn less traffic than I might have expected. We'll just have to wait and see how the bit of negative feedback here compares to the positive feedback from people who do click-through on the pop-ups.
