Just a quick comment. A previous post on this thread said that this website is ad-supported. That was news to me! I didn't know this site has adverts as I don't see any ads at all due to my firefox plug-ins blocking all signs of adverts. No ads at all, ZERO, no pop ups, not even the ad holders or the empty spaces where these mythical ads are supposed to reside.

To be honest, I'm unsure about how many adverts one usually sees when surfing the web. I suppose (from what's been said here and by Phorm) it's a lot? I really don't understand why surfers put up with it. If everyone blocked ads then the likes of Phorm would be dead in the water before they even started - there would be no demand for their services!

Ali.
