And I got subbed to a forum without even trying! lol!
I sub to multiple forums, but only 25% of messages get
through. mass-delete, baby.

actually it is.
SK is one of the more prestigious, high-credibility
forums around. (beats soc.culture.malaysia any day!) 
getting kicked out means you lose an audience of upper
middle class, educated, influential people.

WHY do you think the GAH cult posts their religious
diatribes here? when they have their own rope lists? 
They want EXPOSURE. They know this list has many
readers.  So all this silly loony posts is just a
symptom of sk's own problems of success.

maybe, but you should see what the sk-rejects 
think of this list a while back :)
