Probably every link posted on here takes you to ads. If you so anti-ad then post somewhere where they don't use html links.

I don't think that anyone is a big fan of ads. I fully recognize that SI needs to have a way to generate revenues. I appreciate that they even gave veterans the option of a one time lifetime membership purchase where ads wouldn't be displayed. And I almost pulled the trigger on that. What stopped me? Well, for one, I know that I already paid for a lifetime membership once. SI presented it to me that they had all of the records and I must be mistaken...I accepted that at first. But then I saw that I was not alone. Many people knew that they had purchased lifetime memberships and their records were lost too. But really, that is kind of a moot point. The new ownership is not legally obligated to honor the past commitments of other legal entities. Which means that future ownership is also not legally obligated to honor lifetime memberships that are sold by the current owners of SI.

And then some events happened right around the deadline for purchasing that lifetime no-ad membership deadline. I met this girl.....right here on this thread actually. We got off to a rocky start very quickly. She had been posting truly insane stuff on the thread already and then she chose to post to me. I told her to back-off, but she didn't listen. And it became clear to me that this site just wasn't big enough for the girl and me. And with the new management at SI, came a new business vision and philosophy. And as part of that vision, it was clear that I am the undesirable element on SI. So it seemed like a really bad idea to pony up the $200 when the best case scenario is that someone buys the site and revokes my lifetime membership and the worst case scenario is that the girl gets all cozy with the new management and I find that Jorj X McKie can no longer post on the site.

I'm not a big fan of Yahoo, never have posted there. But thanks for the suggestion

I'm feeling Lucky!

(LOL, it just occurred to me that N.Dixon will probably try to interpret the "lucky" comment as some sort of threat. Let's see if she can figure out the real meaning).
