<title>Things that annoy me</title>

<content type="text/html" mode="escaped">&lt;p&gt;Every time I log on to &lt;a href="http://www.apsanet.org/"&gt;MyAPSA&lt;/a&gt;, I have to scroll past this stupid message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for submitting your proposal to the 2005 Annual Meeting program. We received a large number of excellent proposals&amp;mdash;too many, unfortunately, to be able to incorporate all of them into the program. Your proposal has not been accepted to the program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We appreciate your interest in the upcoming &lt;span class="caps"&gt;APSA&lt;/span&gt; Annual Meeting and hope that you have the opportunity to attend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, if I were just someone who had submitted a proposal and been rejected, I&amp;rsquo;d be annoyed by the reminder every time I log in that I got dinged&amp;mdash;on the first login, I could see it being valuable, but by the 30th or so I think I&amp;rsquo;d be pissed off. But I didn&amp;rsquo;t even &lt;em&gt;submit&lt;/em&gt; a proposal, so it&amp;rsquo;s just insulting me for no good reason. Jackasses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just &lt;a href="http://blog.lordsutch.com/?entryid=487"&gt;another reminder&lt;/a&gt; that, as Mr. Pravda says, &amp;ldquo;it&amp;rsquo;s always a good idea to underreport your professional income when paying dues to the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;APSA&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;</content>
