Yah, that's not working. Sorry that I did not post my full code;
here's what I've got:

Template:

<?php the_content(); ?>

... and here's from functions.php:

function crazy_excerpt_more($more) {
	global $post;
	return '<p class="custom_more-link"><a href="'.
get_permalink($post->ID) . '">More!!!!!!!!!</a></p>';
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'crazy_excerpt_more');

I assume there's some sort of catch to using <!--more--> in the post
that "excerpt_more" does not override?

Sorry if noob question. :(

I'm probably overlooking something obvious here.

Thanks again!

Cheers,
M
