C’mon. There’s only one discussion board for health issues in the intertubes. The rest have been flushed out. I could tell you where it is, but then I’d have to kill you, and that is against the SDMB board rules.

I suspect the OP is referring to [HealthBoards.com](http://healthboards.com), where he appears to have have an account (currently listed as “inactive”) under the name **vann04**.

I just saw one of their ads! If you don’t call for their special rates, they give you a binder. Which is like a wedgie.

I honestly thought it might be some racist slur but apparently it’s worse!

Why won’t someone tell him what a douche he looks like in that hat?

I have read the thread. And I say that the OP is sadly mistaken about what the first amendment does and does not cover.

I think it’s part of his “character” in the commercial; “You let _me_ take on the gov’t, you have enough to worry about…” Anyone who wears cowboy hats seems to dislike the gov’t, it’s become a sort of anti-gov’t symbol.

I prefer [Edgar Snyder](http://www.edgarsnyder.com/) myself. “There’s never a fee unless we get money for you!” 😉

That’s just 'cause the government always wants to increase the price of Marlboro reds.

Actually, I wear a cowboy hat, and I’m a damned yellow dog Democrat. There are some parts of the government I don’t like, and there are other parts I do like.
