Temptation is always the strongest when we are told not to do some thing. The word NOT is probably the most difficult word to obey and the easiest to ignore.

I actually only clicked on the thread to laugh at your attempt to make me not click on the thread (because I hovered over it and saw the content). Methinks though, that this is still falling for it albeit with a different intention.
