It might be my choices entered into my internet filter (Winproxy by Ositis).<end advice> <rant> I'm bitching here to say that: it tends to make my filter seem useless by commenting on (what really are not so random or intuitive) linguistic connections that these ads have to "speak of". Y'all know me... seeing humor is believing it, but people, the source behind this is an ADVERTISEMENT... even AENIGMA gave more... head. <end rant> <reflection>... although it does remind me of Bevis and Butthead laughing at someone using the word "pole" or "muffin" in a sentence. No, I'm not having a bad day... <end reflection> <disclaimer> This was by no means directed at anyone or anything specific. All titles, taxes, licenses and shipping due at signing.

We used to "race" pine needles in the runoff water in the city street gutters... we always knew where they'd end up.

A good way not to have AWAD would be not to have some way to pay for it. If the ads bother you that much find out how much Anu would take to eliminate them and take up a collection to pay for AWAD. Personally, I enjoy not having to pay for AWAD almost as much as I enjoy AWAD. But if Anu said he needed $10 a year from each participant I'd send in $20 just so someone who couldn't afford it would have the opportunity the rest of us take WAY TOO MUCH for granted.
