I would prefer to have a opt out button.

Sorry about that! That's just my preference.

I notice that the buttons are not in the CE area, which is good. But I'd prefer to have that option everywhere.

Me too! Totally agree with all of this.

But I'll never use them, lol. So if I didn't see the icons, I'd be happy.

Visual clutter is too distracting for me. I think I'm old. Or maybe the glasses. (Both.)

I agree with you. More visual clutter to add...along with all the ads down the sides, blinky ads at the top and bottom of the pages...

Now it's within the posts, too!

Sometimes out of site is out of mind.

I was not pleased when the facebook option was added but was pleased when an opt out option was given. It would be nice to be given this option again. I believe that most of the people that visit this site on a regular basis would and do respect other peoples choice not to have their work posted on social networking sites.

I realize that I am in the minority in my opinion but thought I would just share my 2 cents on the matter.

I so agree with you.

I, too, think the icons add to visual clutter. I blocked them in Firefox.

The Gibbs pic can be posted on every page, however. ;)
