online, especially with everyone and their brother using things like
ad-block?
Make your adverts not be annoying. I feel bad about adblocking *every
single sidebar ad* on
qrz.com, but if they weren't all flickering
animated gifs that strobe red and green I would tolerate them.
I block any and all Flash ads, and any that are animated gifs. I also
block those bloody annoying "pop-up link on words"
intellitxt.com ads.
They're annoying. Don't be annoying.

Just so.
I wonder if they'll ever get a clue?
