This post is permitted.

Would it not be just as well to let aok have the link in his sig or something (along with a clear announcement of his connection with the site) so that he wouldn't have to do the "PM me for info about where you can find these charts" routine in every post?

It's for Google traffic reasons, not for people traffic.

Thanks X, I knew there had to be some reason.
