Now if all that advertising was actually good for something except making rich
people richer - - - -

Is it time for me to start begging the high quality programmer types for
tools to block advertising - - - period?

Just was reading today about some kind of graphics coding that when one
opened an email that notice was sent back to somewhere with info regarding
me and my system.

Please - - - this is one time where I think I would even pay for quality stuff.
The advertising behemoth is so pernicious that I really want 'Jack the Giant
killer' level applications!!!
