Those are those we are talking about - the people that make the pages YOU ARE RIPPING OFF. Those are individuals that put down work into creating the pages, creating the content. Those are the people who put in brain-sweat to write the content you want to download faster. The advertisers don't care, one way or the other. They only pay per advertisement shown. Besides, you're not able to type coherently. There is no privacy involved. And you're not allowed to filter content any way you choose, especially not in the US. You can't do reverse engineering, for instance. Eivind. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
