I can't fix your tags but I can tell you what you did wrong, link dressing only works for working (ie unbroken) links by breaking the link (which you of course were right to do when linking to such a board) with your asterisk you stopped the bb software turning your text into a dressed link. The solution is not to try to dress broken links because you can't.

Nice job with the article please let us know how many/if anybody bites, my only suggestion for an improvement would be to not have "satan" as the final word in a paragraph as it's a easy for skimmers to pick it up that way, burried in the middle of a paragraph only those though thoroughly read the whole article whould find it.

I buried somewhere in there near the 3/4ths mark a like that reads 'By the way, the Poster says Oblivion tastes like Redbull'.

So far, nobody's even tried to catch it. This 'ransom' guy somehow assumes that since I'm trying to quote science I didn't discover all by my widdle self, that's invalid. Meanwhile, he's busy kissing ass to a 2000 year old book written by dead jews.

Simply ask him to explain the logic of that assertion.

So tell him to stop using a computer that he didn't build all the parts to, or use maths or langauge he didn't get on his own.

Shit. Someone noticed.

Evolution is a fact: as much a fact as plate tectonics or the heliocentric solar system. By the way, I worship satan.
I was wondering how this phrase got thrown in when it wasn't in the original article? Is Satan now promoting evolution also?

Just a thought, but maybe you can try a slightly diferent version of the test. See just how far your willing to put your money into it.

Instead of putting "I worship Satan", try something like this.

"If you are reading this sentence, privately message me and state your opinion on Evolution, and I will mail you five dollars."

This gives them an incentive to mention something if they really read it.
