    Click reply to this message, [you]. That may help you in understanding why [you], is the talk of this message board.



    And yes, I agree, can the [ you ] tag.

    Keep the [ you ] tag, just because some pansies get annoyed that it grabs your attention (like a wedgie). Then you get curious its human/primate nature to be curious ..... Ahh but you hate the [ you ] tag! You can get mad and stomp your feet, hold your breath, run the other way or even pick your nose in protest.. but you'll always come back to see whats behind the you tag.. na na na :p

    Yes - put it in the trash, dustbin, litter bin, waste-paper basket, loo, john, privy, latrine, garbage can, skip or take it to the junkyard, dump, tip, civic amenity site, or scrapyard. Or shred it.

    It's childish and it uses up valuable resources as well as time - like this response.

    It might also confuse or upset newcomers to this otherwise useful site, and we don't want to put off any users.

    Any moderators out there paying attention here? I got a fairly hostile PM from someone who had clearly not noticed I am fairly obviously against the continued use of the tag, hassling me for wasting space for using the tag.

    It can be slightly amusing, but it does seem to upset lots of newbies, and irritate lots of oldies.

    [you], is it possible to leave the threads that exist, but prevent future use of the {you} tag, assuming you are someone with admin privileges on this board?

    As the person who uses CraigCSJ, I state that I am a very contented Prius owner with about 40,000 miles on my Prius. I have a good understanding of how the Prius works, and believe it is the best car I have ever had. I have explained Prius to people at two Earth Day celebrations, and have probably been instrumental in many others purchasing Prius.

    From time to time I enjoy looking at material others have posted on PriusChat, but only if it relates to Prius, global warming or environmental pollution. CraigCSJ

    You are seeing an html tag which gets replaced with the login of the user. You see your name, I see my name, everyone sees their own.

Thats for everyone who thinks there funny. Karma will get you. oh, and GET A LIFE or lose one because old people don't have a place in life.

    this tag b.s. should not be allowed because its chasing new people away and they are getting so they don't even want to post questions anymore.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Rufaro @ Jul 3 2006, 05:28 AM) [snapback]280453[/snapback]</div>
    hi yes you can leave it. but many people including myself are getting the wrong.idea. but once again if it means that much to anybody then leave it.

    Dump the [you ] tag! Now! Just do it! It was funny the first time, but it's a childish joke that has no place on a serious discussion board devoted to a great car!!!

    Welcome to PriusChat, GCRCPBXBOXFFAN!

    Did someone abuse you on another thread?

    Take a deep breath...we have a lot of good folks here, including a few pranksters, which will always annoy some but can be refreshing and fun at times.

    Rufaro is not retarded. She wasn't even tarded originally. She's...she's...well, never mind.
    Lots of us have quizzical user names---we even have a thread on THAT. :p Yours is...is...nah, pretty normal name. :rolleyes:
