My Answer
My dear friend, you would give me "most satisfaction" by refraining from spamming my auction with your crud...

You should either place a bid or ask a relevant question.

I don't plan to visit your site, and certainly don't wish to "cut you a long one"...

Have a day.

A couple of notes:
1) If I don't know you, it's best to make friends first.
2) Dropping your URL before you get to know me tells me that you ultimately want me to go to your site...so do you really want to get to know me?
3) If I don't know you, I'd suggest a private message, if you really want to drop links.
4) The personal reference to my daughter is nice, but perhaps it's too little too late.
