Hmm... I hadn't been following this thread. I'm sorry I looked at it now.
XBenX - pull your head in. Now.
There have been way too many posts in this thread which have attacked the original poster unnecessarily.
Sure, analyse, dissect, discuss the deal - that's what we are here for - but this is not an excuse for flaming posters. If you really think something is spam and should be removed, PM or email the moderators or administrators and they will deal with it.
Some of you have been acting like schoolyard bullies looking for any excuse to put the boot in. The only critisism we need here is "constructive" critisism.
Brains is right - this is not intended to be a "cliquey little group".
I overheard a conversation between two old and wise beings (note that the BEN in the conversation is NOT XBenX):
YODA: (irritated) I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.
BEN'S VOICE: He will learn patience.
YODA: Hmmm. Much anger in him...
...
BEN: Luke, don't give in to hate -- that leads to the dark side.
I hope we can learn something from our elders.
Les (another wise being) has gone to a lot of trouble with the posting guidelines - I suggest everyone reads them again. These guidelines cover not only deals posted here, but also responses to posts in this forum and as such everyone should take heed.
