The other issue with doing *ads* type stuff is some sites, for whatever reason, have those letters in places that aren't ads. Even if you do */ads/*, you can run into issues. So, this isn't a really good approach. One example is when I did this with adblock in firefox, suddenly I couldn't see the download link at firefox's site anymore, which is quite amusing. peace, cameron -- <http://desk003.com> AIM&Y!: desk003com _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
