To make matters worse, the ad was for one of those 'pay me a $1000 and I'll give you the "secret" events' that prey on gullible and needy people, and somehow, that cheapens the discourse. I'd almost rather have an ad for Coke pr something. So my question for you is, can I trust anything on this site again?<br /> I need to log off now, and go lie down - I have a headache. </p>
