| 08-May-09 10:48am | The real problem is that there are far too many websites where the content is a miniscule fraction of the download, due to over-the-top advertising. That is not even counting the high percentage of malicious and/or spyware-installing advertisements that can potentially execute on the user's computer, none of which the site's webmaster has any control over because the ads are not served from his website. With Flash animations, animated GIFs, and various other types of "active advertising", it becomes intolerable to the point where the content of these sites is not worth the aggravation of having to put up with the obscene degree of crap that advertisers try to stuff down our throats every day. What's worse is the poor quality of these ads and the bogus crap they try to sell to people. The real problem is not AdBlock Plus, but people who believe that the crap they spew out every day is so worthy that people should have to tolerate this ad spam in order to view it. And then this guy has the nerve to ask for donations on his site, to supplement the ad revenue. Sorry, Danny Carlton, Jack Lewis, and all others like you, but your daily political spew is not worth it, especially when none of it is original, just a bunch of links to other politically charged and motivated spew sites.
