I really wonder what kind of man would do such a thing to another human being. Yet alone the one that is supposed to love him. (I guess that's the way it works someplaces). I really cannot understand. But hey; I live in Switzerland. how am I supposed to understand other people for I only know my cheesing and cowbelling. Ah and mountains. I forgot the pink mountains.

"But you don’t have to pay to read a blog. I don’t mind the concept of advertising, but I’m not going to pay to read it."
There was the a time when I went berserk about every single ad that appeared on my screen. Now that I am a regular reader of multiple blogs for quite some time I start to understand the implications of the business. I started to understand that almost none of the blogs I use to read could exists without ads. But nonetheless I use adblock. And there is a reason for it; I like to read. I appreciate good content. But I am not willing to let my reading being disturbed by blinking, irritating stuff. I am not willing to participate in a forum where the posts are interrupted by something, some intellitxts and whole paragraphs of something poppig up and links trying to fool me into clicking on them and then buying stuff I'd never need ever. Ever. A sidebar with google ads. A decent banner here and there. I am willing to accept that. But the industry went to far. Some webadmins went to far. There is a fair balance in everything. And that is why I use adblock and alter my hosts file.
