Welcome to the Cafe' Adam!
As to the confusion, some of our guests are not as informed as others. Some guests are very knowledgeable, some are not very informed, and others are just looking to make waves. We have a very good group of people here and none of us wants to see anyone take obvious bad advice that hurts their team. The emoticons certainly help to let everyone know how we are feeling when we post. Happy, upset, silly, etc. Once again, glad to have you aboard.
No, there are no commisions on people signing up. The Cafe' is free, and nothing in your email unless you want to be notified about a private message or a response to a thread. The guys were just pulling your leg on that one.
On a different subject:
Well Super, looks like you will get to 2K before I reach 9K! Took you long enough. Rofl.
Never fear guys! 10,000 before the season ends seems to be a realistic possibility right now. Time will tell.

Yes doctor, I am sick.
Sick of those who are spineless.
Sick of those who feel self-entitled.
Sick of those who are hypocrites.
Yes doctor, an army is forming.
Yes doctor, there will be a war.
Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
