Thanks Rossman and everybody.

Yesterday's discussion was actually quite healthy except for the unwarranted and unneccessary personal attacks. My Mom passed away from Breast Cancer during the ordeal so whoever brought up my Mom, you know where you can go.

Also people should be more factual with their choice of words especially when they repeat them and they are wrong. Where do you see that a lawsuit was filed? I brought up the word "legal" as a point in that someone is re-defining the word SPAM. I should've used the dictionary as a better example, sorry.

I have Voluntarilly removed the live hyperlink from my sig to make it more Politically Correct and everyone else should to if it is something that would "benefit" themselves personally as many were so bent on.

That's definitely a different elite acceptance speech than I am used to.

sh*t man i didnt realize that was you. i remember hearing about it on TV. im VERY happy to learn that things turned out ok for ya. Glad that you a member of AT as you allready knwo this place is great.

someone is re-defining the word SPAM

The word has a fluid definition. It applies to many things and has different meanings to different people.

I have Voluntarilly removed the live hyperlink from my sig to make it more Politically Correct and everyone else should to if it is something that would "benefit" themselves personally as many were so bent on.

Good for you, but you weren't asked to do so here at AnandTech, and neither has anyone else been asked to do so. The rules between AT and BBR are not, and do not have to be the same. People were bent on a rule at BBR being enforced and whether or not you have a right to use it to foretell the death of the Internet, the return of Hitler to world power, and every single hyperlink being made illegal.
Sure, it's lame of BBR to selectively enforce that rule, if that's truly what's going on, but they are acting within their rights.

But that is a different reply for a different thread.

Congrats on your Eliteness and Condolences on your loss.

I'd like to point out that you get Elite status for your work in other forums, not just your neffings in OT.
