As for DU, they exclude me from staff meetings (I didn't ask to attend) and as for stealth copyright notices, ask EarlG.

I do avoid Reddit like the plague, though the few times I have (accidentally) gone there, I saw only one OP and no replies. Browser? Login needed? I don't care. It's a dump.

I'm just here for the news headlines, for the LuLZ, and to KICK ASS (or other parts)
