    I know you put your disclaimer in the beginning, but you can’t seriously expect to write a “X Best Of” article without people piping in about what you forgot and got wrong. I mean come on.

    You sure I’m the one that had a nerve hit, seeing as you felt the need to jump in on a simple comment complimenting the author with a full paragraph detailing your house rules and your judgement of all of your guests?

    Thank you for an article like this that isn’t just “don’t give them anything”, because that’s ridiculous and just not going to happen.

    What I want is, when an ad for a TV show or movie is playing, to have a “record” oradd to DVRbutton.

    I really don’t understand why everybody freaks out about this when there are so many other, more serious ways that your privacy can be violated. All they’re going to get is hours of this:

    If it’s gonna be the slideshow ye be showin’ yer gonna be takin’ a long walk off of a short plank...

    “Ahh, still a little fight left in you. Maybe you’d like to meet friends of mine.”
