Sorry, not a bug, but a self-linker call out.

no. in thread, it's ok, remember? Even though people get ridiculed for signing their messages...

Most egregious waste of $5 evar.

The in-thread rule is for when a self-link is relevant. Not to sign your posts.

Whew lucky I didn't link to my website.

crunch, it's not the particular self link that I take issue with. There appears to be a familiar pattern in this user's behavior, though.

What is the point of this callout?

I think in thread is ok, as long as it pertains to the topic.

well, ok. so it's not "ok," but this seems more like a new person not aware of the social norms here in metafilter, and probably just needs to be set right. Put away the pitchforks.

wow, that's a lot of comments all at 12:11... now what's the word?

Man, there are so bigger problems with that thread.

I don't have a website to which I can link.

I thought that was how we made people aware of the social norms here...

Seriously, 'surfforhouses.com'? Brun the withc, I say!

I for one was disappointed that the website does not give away homes in exchange for riding waves.
posted by brain_drain at 10:25 AM on September 25, 2006

I think this is an excellent callout.

Aww. Why need these be mutually exclusive?

Does anyone here know of a good online real estate site? Someplace I can use to locate houses for sale from my computer?
