Dear IHateCilantro.com members,

Oh boy oh boy. It's time to get excited. The birds are buzzing, the bees are singing and the world's caught you an oyster. It's May and another fragrant IHateCilantro.com newsletter is blooming right here in your inbox. Take a minute to pause and take it all in. Now look pensively at the ceiling.

Ok stop. What's gotten into you? It's time for business and here's the buzz:

1. From whence you came.
Our first item is big so hold onto your socks. Ready? Membership soared past 600 this month and sits comfortably but cautiously at a lofty 637. We can't resist a good pot shot so take a moment to notice that, oh, would you look here, we've only been slightly more successful at recruiting faithful members than the sixteen member crew over at ilovecilantro.com's nicknaming convention. Maybe the con party will have soda crackers and orange Fanta. Hopefully we'll get invited. Fingers crossed!

2. Wear out your passion.
IHC was never much into capitalism or the practical nature of things. Our cause was our foundation and our passion our voice. But your incessant demands earned you IHateCilantro.com stickers, magnets or a pink ringer t-shirt as weapon-of-choice for showing the world, whole city blocks at a time, that you mean business. Our interns at the office wear the golf shirt. Make your own, or select from the pre-fab wares at http://www.cafepress.com/cilantrono

3. Cilantro makes us cry...
... out for justice! Now everybody can debate or share any perspective publicly in the online forum. Leave your mark at http://ihatecilantro.com/smf/

4. Profile privacy.
Maybe you're neighbor's family found out someone in their clan hated cilantro and stuffed his pillows with the horrendous herb while he was at school. Maybe he had nightmares as a result and was perfectly insane by morning. Cilantro makes people do crazy things and sometimes anonymity is the only safe way to avoid persecution. There's no need to cancel your membership, however - now you can hide most PII such as age, sex, and location in your member profile. Avert disaster by logging in to change your privacy settings.

5. Profile pictures.
We found a banana lodged in the computer servers that was causing people's pictures not to upload. Come back and give it another shot - the fix should make it easier to get your member image uploaded. http://www.ihatecilantro.com/log.php
