Does anyone remember this?
I think there was a valuable lesson there of just don't look. Yes possibly it was a commentary on the evils of advertising and by ignoring it they become ineffective and go away (or not?), but perhaps the lesson can apply to an array of situations. This is one of those few problems in life that can be solved completely by ignoring it, or at least the source. I'm trying to imagine if everyone had me on ignore and I was just posting to an effectively empty forum. Would I really bother posting at all?
