90. The ads really suck. I've never had the problem with Windows having to constantly recover my DU page

I've had to adjust. It may be the ads, and it may not, but it's happening on every device I use to access DU.

Much to my surprise, I learned that Skinner has an Ignore list just like the rest of us. I asked a couple of questions in ATA, months ago, and to this day, neither of them have been answered. I guess I'm on his list? I'm not sure how one "administers" a board like this, if you're ignoring members?
