I am supposed to care? I don't. Advertising is propaganda. I don't accept propaganda. Do you know that microsoft and yahoo etc. and all these advertisers silently put cookies on your computer? Microsoft's expires in 2037. Yahoo's expires in 2015. Every time you access those sites, those cookies are sent back to those website operators. If you don't block cookies, your every move on the internet is tracked by those advertisers and sites. If those web sites can't figure out how to do micro payments or other business models, FUCK em. I will filter anything I want out of anything I download. I have the right to do that, and nobody is ever going to stop me. You know what, I skip commercials when I record TV too. Javascript is Evil. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
