I've been surfing the web since the very beginning, and mandatory advertising was never part of the deal. I control what appears on my screen. If a web site refuses to exist without serving crappy advertising that distracts from actual content and puts my security at risk then I say fuck 'em. They don't deserve my traffic anyway. It's not like these sites who demand to plaster ads on my screen have a monopoly on the information I want. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
