Okay, How Much? *VANITY*

Loose Lips Sink Ships

[TruthBeforeAll]

Okay, during 2004 elections, and under different user name, I mentioned a tactic that a possible terrorist cell might use to disrupt the elections. This apparently pushed the buttons of the powers that be and I was thereafter greeted with a "Loose Lips Sink Ships" admonition in my window every time I went to post a commen. This went on for about a year until I just decided to go ahead and give up my "seniority" and re-register with a new name in 2005. Well low and behold, the little red admonition followed me and has been attached to my new user name ever since. So here we are nearly 7 years later and it's still there. I emailed the admins with no reply so I figured I'd go ahead and post a vanity (I know how much they love that). So, my question is, how much is it going to cost me to get that little red reminder off of my posting page? Please let me know. Sincerely, Truthbeforeall.

That admonition is on everybody’s post page. Has been as long as I can remember. Since at least 2001.

This should be good.

That reminder is on every posting page. I think it started way back in 01 or 02 when we had some military folks in the field talking about what they were doing.

This isn’t about you.

nevermind... :)

You gave up your old user id for that? Yikes. I guess having only been here since 2006, it never occurred to me as anything other than a standard warning.

Great scene in "No Country For Old Men" --

"You can't stop what's comin'. It ain't all waitin' on you. That's vanity."

Loose lips sink ships!

LOL! I mentally heard Gilda Radner in your post.

[Responsibility2nd]

I get the same warning too.

 

 

But I don't complain.

Your firstborn, your 401(K) and your flat-screen TV.

Why is it so hard for some folks just to answer a question without adding a self righteous comment to it?

I don’t mind the “Loose Lips” message. But I sure wish they would get rid of the “$1 per post” paypal icon. That starts to add up after awhile.

No, I'm sorry.
Only newbies see that message.

And so you'll know, by definition, a newbie is anyone who signed up after Nov 24, 2000.
Sorry, but it's not like I make this stuff up.

Loose lip virus and now you’ve infected FR with it.

That reminder has stopped me on several occasions from writing something I would regret later.

I am glad it is there!

[Servant of the Cross]

I’d have asked for a lot more.
