Hi Jamie,
Obviously, the degree to which ads annoy someone determines how they deal with those ads. My point is that I defend the rights for people to choose their own way of dealing with ads.
And my point is that they don't have that right. Deciding to alter the way a program/web site works (unless it's open source and stated that you can alter or otherwise change the code) to your advantage, and the webmaster's disadvantage is like me coming over to you house and saying "I don't like the color of your house, I'm going to paint it something else." Would you stand for that? Of course not! So why should I have people painting over parts of my e-Realestate?
Tim, your increasingly desperate efforts to get your point across are becoming ridiculous. Blocking ads like repainting someone's house? Do me a favour... I fully accept your right to insist that people who view your site view the lot - ads and all. Put a text banner at the top of each page which states your conditions for viewing the site and telling people you don't or can't accept the terms to leave without viewing the content. Enforce this with technology if you can. But at the end of the day you must accept that if you are putting content in a public place, the public are going to choose to view it under their own terms. If you don't like that, make it a closed site where people accept your terms when they register. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
