Please take me off any commercial filters (in terms of you trying to sell me stuff).

Please also take me off any twitter filters.

Thanks!

But can I try and sell you Twitter?

It is somewhat surprising that LJ doesn't let users decide which filters they're on. You'd think that the "publisher" could set the filters, and the "subscriber" could set which ones they wish to be on. The "publisher" could then approve or not as needed.

LJ could be better designed, I suppose.

(My initial response to this was that I wanted to add a twitter and commercial filter and add you, just so I could remove you and reply with "OK, done". After a few seconds reflection, I decided that it would be too much work.)

I've never got any ads/spam through live journal, is that what you are talking about?

Or I have a "Plus Account" account that displays ads on my blog in return for some extra features is that what you mean? I also use the Adblocker extension with my Foxfire browser so I don't actually see any of the ads myself.

I might periodically talk about my artsy stuff, that I might someday actually try again to sell (I used to be moderately successful, but it takes time, money and good health to do so regularly) and that might involve me giving a link to my Etsy site. I don't always filter things like that, but I'd probably cut tag stuff... is that the kind of thing you're talking about? Or much more overt stuff than that?

Sorry, did you want the veg-o-matic or not?

Yeesh.

If you can picture it, imagine me as Daffy Duck whooping as I run away. That's me. In the duck suit. Whooping. Yup.
