I have a permanent account, so I don't see anything about celebrities OR goats unless I want to.

I don't and I *still* don;t. Why do you see this stuff? I just bookmark my friends group. I never see the front page..

I have a permie account too, but I subscribe to the news user and email so that I can see news. Except it's all "Frank the goat did this blah blah blah, and the new banner is fantastic and wonderful and you can see even fewer of the links than usual now! And there have been a zillion posts to "oh no they didn't" since Brad and Janet split up and we're celebrating by letting you give virtual bouquets to all your friends! Oh yeah, and you can now have your posts show what the weather was like as you were writing if you like, and the limit has been upgraded on how many photographs you can upload to scrapbook, but let's talk about the pretend goats some more!"
