Thanks, but I'm probably lying. I'm not quite that impulsive. Probably I'd wait around long enough to see if the preponderance of Brinellers are willing to tolerate something like a web-of-shame. If they are, then I'll unsub. And even if I were to unsub in a couple of weeks in disgust, I'd probably peek back periodically. It's a sign of Brin-L codependence, I guess.
