Err, no. Advertising is all about encouraging folk who might be otherwise uncertain, to take a look!

All I'm saying is that every other internet forum on the web, has a Profile Page accessible at the click of a posters name, as standard.

So, here of all places (especially as Max has promoted the maximum internet exposure of 'Google Search' and 'Share Thread' elements) it aught to be appreciated by the numerous artists who are members & contribute regularly!
