If stripping annoying crap out of webpages becomes the norm then one might expect less annoying crap overall once content sites realized the error of their ways. Finding a way to make money off the net isn't my problem. It appears to be yours. What I suggest you do is put your employers time to good use and find a solution that makes your customers happy and stop bickering about this. > My friends upstairs are spending 60% of their waking time making > content, and are asking for only one thing in return: That you view the > ads that are sold in on the pages.

I'm simply opting not to view ad spam (I just realized something. I'm not using Junk Buster right now so this whole arguement is academic.) You've not answered the Lynx question yet. How is it stealing when I have a web proxy that doesn't pass web-spam to Netscape but not when I use Lynx which doesn't load the images anyway. (Hint: You've got no leg to stand on.) /* Matthew N.
