14. No, you just need more general terms for the blocks.
Edited on Mon May-18-09 09:48 PM by LeftyMom
Are you using a standard set of filters like EasyList or are you just adding stuff that annoys you?

EasyList should take care of most of the rest, for the remainder use * to make more general blocks:

To block an ad do something like

www.blogads .com/*

rather than

www.blogads .com/reallyfuckingannoyingad/DUads/AnnCoulter'sVaginaDentata. gif

20. I find the ads interesting.
They match the subject.

I can tell you how to whiten your teeth for free, really.

21. If you click on a thread about Muslims, for example,
you get an ad for Muslim Singles.

There are always tons of pizza ads, I think it's because people always joke about "your pizza is served", etc.

I hate the one about making money by posting links on Google. It's a shameless scam and really has no business here.

Anyway, I'm waiting for DU to open their snail mailbox and see my donation. I get the feeling they don't check it too often.

22. Sometimes I don't log on and so I can read the ads.
Hope you get your star soon.
