Sorry for being a "hated" re-poster. I am never in the off topic forum and did not check to see if my complaint had been posted. I guess the other side of this argument is that if nobody re-posted, it is not as likely that Anand would do anything about it.
I am surprised that with all of the complaints posted, nothing has been done to remove the ad, or change it.
Apparantly there is a banner free forum for people who subscribe?? I will have to do some research to find out about this subscription based service.
Thanks to Mwilding for the tip on hitting escape.
I did not know my post would prompt so many harsh responses. Once again, please forgive my newbie mistake.
It is ironic to note that a Diamond and Senior member of this forum felt the need to repost the long "repost of a repost of a repost....." message that was originally posted by Millenium to draw to my attention that I had reposted. (not a criticism, just an observation).
