Don,
I have three words for you:
Everything is relative.
One man's clutter is another woman's pile of... wait, that doesn't
quite sound right. Not everyone finds this stuff objectionable. Take
Vanagons. Some people think they are heinous toads. I happen to think
mine is a beautiful princess with Dingleberries to match. Same as tag
lines. Some find them obnoxious. Others find them useful. Since we
don't ban them on the List, there may be more coming to annoy or amuse
you. Your choice.
If only we can chose our relatives. Well, that's not relative.
Move along folks. Nothing to see. Go about your business. Nothing be
concerned about.
