Glad to oblige…. except I won't.

I have "mail to" obfuscation on this website that blocks automated email address harvesters.

I have "no follow" attributes applied to back-links for any website that only posts once, say. This means that any perceived SEO benefits that a player may think they are going to get will not arise until they are bona-fide contributors to the website. (n.b. you did not have a URL in this case – I'm just stating it for the record)

BTW, your IP is blocked so you'll need to arrive from a different destination if you wish to enervate me with exciting commentary.
