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
You detest software with ads in them, yet you complain if people view your web pages but block your ads? So how do you differentiate between an app and a web page? What if I make a web page for reading mail say, it's OK to have ads in that? But if I write a stand alone email program, I shouldn't put ads in that (like Eudora does I believe)? I'm not against ads in neither web pages or apps - but I disagree with your complaints when people block them. In fact this debate has just inticed me to find a good ad blocker and install it... ;) Jamie -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Jamie O'Shaughnessy e-mail: joshaugh@uk.oracle.com Oracle Interactive Television Division phone : +44 118 92 45052 ______________________________________________________ __ __ _ __ . __ Opinions are my own and not those of...
