Squeak - I'm not taking sides here as I simply do not care if people have ads in their postings signatures or not. It won't affect me one way or the other if they stay or if they go....that decision is ultimately up to the mod team of which you are a part and Goob.
Having said that ~ can you genuinely not see Dave's point? He isn't the only one doing it yet he seemingly is the only one catching static for it.
Like I said - keep the ads or ban them makes no difference to me. But I am curious (as I am a nosy cuss at times) to see why if it is, in fact, a rules violation why others aren't being sanctioned for it as well?
