</div>And here is _exactly_ why I dislike forums. They are designed to<br>
generate clicks -- presumably to drive advertising. Not saying that<br>
this is what the MythTV forums are doing but just that this is what the<br>
software is designed for and so everyone is a victim of it.<br>
<br>
Why should I have to visit the thread after each e-mail from it is sent<br>
to me other than to drive up the $$-for-clicks counter?<br>
