Come on, this just isn’t cool. Having a book tie-in forum is simply tacky. The SDMB is supposed to be about the Teeming Millions, not promoting obscure home-improvement books. (Sorry, **Ed**. The fact that the forum has the ostensible focus of general home repair doesn’t save it - it’s still essentially a giant ad for Mr. Zotti’s book. It’s the SDMB equivalent of an infomercial.

Nuke it from orbit! It’s the only way to be sure.

Oh, right, I almost forgot: Fuck the Barn House!

This is my fault. I knew I should have used a more descriptive thread title.

So ask them to change the thread title to something more descriptive.

Locking this, and if thread tools permit, I’ll change **Cisco** ’s thread’s title.
