Cool, at least someone is paying attention. The thing about the promotional aspect is - do these parties not get promoted to high heaven on here ANYWAY? I don't reckon that any user will go to the lengths required to create a mahossive signature promoting their wares, and not post them elsewhere, as an individual thread, on this foum and others. That's why it comes across as some kind of trophy, and self "big-upness" and I think that stinks. Promoting the notion that showing all that you do, all the time, is unhealthy, and will eventually lead to bad blood and competetiveness from fellow board members when there is no need for it.

Not to mention the previous reasons I mentioned- perhaps a size regualtion would be a good start.
