>So advertising is bad in and of itself, not slow page loading? You know, I looked back over my message twice just to make sure, and yep, you are putting words in my mouth. I never made such a statement. If I as a user choose to block advertising because it takes to long to download, OR because I simply hate ads, that is _my_ choice as a user. The thing that frightens longs like you is that there's never been an advertising medium in history before where you could utterly avoid seeing the ads, yet see the content. >Perhaps one of us is dealing with an inaccurate perception >of reality. lets put it this way: I am short Yahoo. I am well in the black. I will only get further and further into the black, because this search engine is not worth anywhere near (or above, so dont say it) 2 billion dollars.
