Sooner or later they'll realize that it didn't really make a difference. Their viewership will have dropped and so too will the eventual number of clicks on the ads. The *density* may not necessarily increase (depends on the type of crowd the site attracts). For many, the screaming ads don't really make a difference. They get used to getting content out of the trash. It's just like traveling in Mumbai -- the conditions suck big time and something should be done about it, but in the end everyone gets used to it. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar This document validates as Plain Text -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
