This ad has got to go! and robots.txt sucks!

You added this cheazy, sleazy, shaking ad. The decline has begun.

cdn.valueclick.com

I was going to post old versions of siliconinvestor but bob and matt have blocked it just like they blocked ihub so I can no longer show you where it said "basher free zone." Look at these robots. Now I bet he will make it so you can't search si via google so you have to pay for "premium" services just to get some of the old services back. And to think bob thinks these comments are "witty."
