Let's back up a few steps here because I believe there's been a rather significant misunderstanding.

So, to summarize:

gerbick made a comment about the advertising on Talk. To which sjgadsby responded that Nokia's financing of Talk means the advertising has been removed.

Then qole proceded to make what I perceive to be a snide remark about the Forum Nokia link on the site being advertising. This I assumed partially because of the lack of any indication of humor and partially because of his historical attitude towards subjects like these. Because I disagree with his view on the Forum Nokia banner, I responded explaining why I didn't believe it was advertising (advertising with qole's negative connotation—clearly it's advertising, but the good kind).

Here's where things fall apart, you seem to think I'm responding to your post following qole's. Which is confirmed by this:

Unfortunately I wasn't referring to your post, of course, since I generally quote posts that I'm responding to (as it helps avoid the sort of confusion we're experiencing here), but qole's.

As for the thread crapping, I was addressing a point brought up by gerbick and that was discussed by sjgadsby, qole, and yourself before I came in. I'm not sure how I'm the thread-crapper here.

So, please, drop the irrationality and stop letting your personal issues against me get in the way of civilized discussion. Thanks!
