If I buy the Chicago Reader, can I have an ad for it in my signature? ---

> [@Ponder Stibbons](#): > > Heeeeyy! There’s no place to order fresh baby on that site! Or even canned baby! Just another stupid spam site that promises one thing and delivers another. I probably even got a virus just visiting it. That’s it? One click and you give up? You think they would be selling fresh baby right out in the open? You gotta find the virtual back room; look under the e-counter. Give the secret password. I’m surprised you don’t already know about this site - wait a minute. You’re not a Mod. Never Mind. ---

While we’re on topic… There was a poster that left for awhile, and then came back and said in one their first posts that they had to remember to click “show signature” on _every_ post. Not only was that breaking the “one sig per thread” rule, but the website was blatantly peddling this person’s wares (which is why they reminded themselves outloud to attach their sig to every post)! It really grated on my nerves that this person never got called out for that. ---
