Thirded? Fourthed? Wherever we are. I think it would hit home better than any set of written rules ever could.

[edit]Changed :lol: to :blink: to reflect my real intention of this point. I said that it can be a real problem but it is one that people inflict on themselves. I was laughing at the gullibility of the users, not the resulting problem. It amazes me what people will do to themselves because it is what they are brainwashed into thinking they need. Just look at all the ads and the press that this subject is getting. The masses follow like sheep.

Advertisers are really playing to this element of human nature too. My favorite one of late is for one of those erectile dysfunction drugs (Cialis?). Their disclaimer says "erections lasting more than 4 hours require immediate medical attention". While I acknowledge this can be a real problem, most men I know would be bragging to all their buddies for weeks. :blink: That warning probably sells more of the product than the rest of the ad ever could.
