I'm glad it isn't just me that thought that, and also that it isn't just
me that didn't spot the fact that my signature has already been
accepted. I know I have a serious problem with advertising that is
designed to catch my attention - my brain seems programmed to ignore it.
A prime example is bold ads in Exchange and Mart or the Free Ads. Even
if I'm specifically looking for something I generally don't notice the
ones people have paid extra to hi-light! That said, advertising does
have an impact on me - I could never bring myself to purchase Cillit
Bang (I though the ads were a spoof when I first saw them!), and even
after all these years Right Guard is off my shopping list!!
