HUMOR ON

I just got wind of this lame advertisement for DTK, and I think it's
disgusting that someone from a company with the fine reputation of TIS would
so blatantly advertise the all.net Web site in an intellectual forum such as
this. How much did they pay you to get people to visit this site?

HUMOR OFF
