You can't stuff anything down a woman's throat if she isn't PRESENT.

Online, the act of clicking on, opening and reading a post IS the act of asking for information from that particular poster. Akin to saying, "Tell me what YOU think."
You're forgetting that key point.

The content of the threads and individual posts on AJ are HIDDEN unless the user actively engages in clicking, opening and reading the information therein.
Argue with that.
