I'm not going to start a flame war in here, but I do want to point out that maybe you don't see how your posts come across, LB. I went back and reread your initial post and your response to Fred, and in the first one it sounds as if you think we're all fools for not objecting to the ads, given that the script is so dangerous and all. In the second it sounds as if you believe Fred's trying to grab all the money he can for...what? Maybe that isn't your intent, but you come across as rude and snarky. Personally, I'm impressed by how calmly Fred's taking the apparent insults. Then again, he and mods tend not to be overtly nasty regardless of the provocation.

Well, I guess I don't see it. But if that is the way my post came across, then I apologize. I guess I let my distaste for company's that log and keep records of everywhere you surf and search offensive. I guess I let it bleed over into my posts.

Yeah, honestly, my reaction was more to the tone than the content. I know plenty of folks who are uncomfortable with Google; I'm not one of them (I happen to believe that privacy is dead, so a lot of the stuff that would bother you definitely wouldn't bother me, and besides, I WANT Google to advertise at me more effectively; but that's beside the point).
Regardless, sorry for reacting so strongly. When it's the few hundred bucks I might gain from running the site on the line, I get a little persnickety when folks get all tweaked about my efforts to sustain that. :)

So I'm now being accused of "not being nice" as well as a slew of derogatory statements.

No, darlin, this is a bitter reaction to the way you present your opinion, not to the content of your opinion.

Oh yes, you come across as a really nice friendly person. Since you have no basis on which to base such derogatory remarks.

Sure I do. It's right there in your posts. That's all I've got to base it on, and I was being nice. I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you're not really how you seem to come across here in real life.
Now if you want me to get "not nice".... we could go there. But I'd really rather not. There are so many other more interesting ways to spend my online time... like making new friends. ;D

Meh. Let's leave Lunch Box be. I think the appropriate apologies have been made on both sides, really, so I'm at peace, here. Back to your driving up the likelihood Borders ads will show up!
