Well, now I don't know about that.
I think you do it because you know it bothers some people. I think that's why all the "spammers" do it.
I think you do it also because by God, nobody's gonna tell you what you can and can't do (even if they ask nicely).
Now you can offer up some of your false apologies...offer to leave the thread, do what ever it is you always do so everyone will fall all over themselves begging you not to leave...I don't care.
And that's all I've got to say about that.
