from your first post:

Since my Google homepage is set to display several "daily quotations",
(emphasis added)

from what are we to infer from this?

and I repeat, it is Delancy Place that has disllusioned you, not Mr. Garg.

take your trolling elsewhere.

Emails can be formed from web-pages or by processing web-pages.

I was wrong about it being a Google ad though. Those ads are supplied by calling AdSpeed not Google. Still, they are generated by an outside source.

Hi Latishya,
Since you are here now - welcome to the suburbs of Sentience City.
There are a couple of good bookstores, a cyber-cafe with a great dessert menu and a wide variety of neighbours who like to chat over the web-fence. Pooper scooper laws are rigidly enforced. If you don't feel like driving the LIU train takes you into downtown Sentience in just a few minutes. The only drawback is the nearby airport, I notice things whoshing over my head on a regular basis but you get used to it and they rarely drop anything on you.

Thanks for the welcome. Apparently you forgot to list one other rule - any criticism of Anu Garg is trolling.

and you still haven't quite gotten it that it had nothing to do with Anu, it was Delancy Place that gave you the complex.

Justified critisism isn't considered trolling; it was idea of blaming innocent bystanders that got the reaction. Anyway the advertising industry would go belly up if they weren't allowed to hyperbolize.

It's his newsletter, and he chooses the sponsors whose advertisements appear in the newsletter.
