Hi Greg,
If the ads go unnoticed by me even when they show up on a page why should I not filter ads? And aren't you also implying that free (as in free beer) software can only be supported by ads? If that's the case I'd rather pay for software (or web information if I truly need it) than use an app such as Gozilla! or the new, free versions of Eudora.
I didn't imply that free software must be supported by ads, I detest software with ads in them. What I think is fair is that the site you have to visit to get the program have some ads on it. Believe it or not, I make a nice amount from visitors downloading my open source programs just by loading the web pages with ads on them. I don't have any ads in the programs, but by the visitors being courteous enough to let my ads load (even if they don't view them), we both benefit. When I spend hours and hours of _my_ precious time creating a program for everyone to enjoy, why is it so hard to spend just a few extra seconds of _your_ time letting my ads load (and ignoring them). I get $.01 on many of the ads displayed even if you don't pay attention to them. It should be a token of gratitude for the people who do the work that you enjoy. -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.

Anyway, I get much more useful information from usenet than from the web.
