Really? A Free plasma?

I though this was amusing. I saw that ad (which is rare with my ad blocker) and decided to see what the properties said.

Sorry. I thought I had seen plenty of inline images that size and assumed it was fine. Must have been another forum.

You won't see very many inline images here at all - we discourage them altogether. We are a bit anal about keeping this place dialup and low screen res friendly. We don't go around measuring them, but any that are much bigger than a thumbnail or load slowly will be edited.

But wait...they said it was free though! All I had to give them was my full name, address, bank account / pin number, social security number, mother's maiden name, and a copy of my birth certificate.

The birth certificate was optional, but they said they'd knock off the shipping if it were included.

Darn!
