Dear Whoever I Sent This Link To,

Just a word (or a thousand words, or something) to the wise: it's been tried, repeatedly. It never works. You may have great intentions, but you are wasting your time.

I'm not even "telling" you to stop; that's entirely up to you. I just thought I'd save you the trouble. Don't believe me?
