If I want to link to something, I would prefer to do it myself.

Is this going to continue?

I would hate to have people thinking I was promoting these rotten products myself.

Just checking something...

Children, parents, oil of olay, posting, website, advertising.

How many annoying pop ups are in this post? Are we going to have another case of not being able to move the cursor randomly over the page without being interrupted by a silly ad for something annoying?

Rats and cats and bats and stinky piles of poo.

Hm. Interesting. Every time I come back to this thread, different words are highlighted.

Well, just so you know, I'm not getting compensated by ANY of these people to push their products.

Contextual advertising, I'm sure. There's another thread around here somewhere.

I haven't seen the ads for quite some time, myself.

Re: Just checking something...

And, before anyone tells me to, I have started a thread in the feedback forum.

I'm just annoyed by my post being mucked with.

parent, police, story, show, cable, tv, video, performance, DVD, blu-ray, software, movie, HDTV, weight loss, diet, enlarge your penis.

AAAAAAAAAAGH!

I don't see any of what you are describing. Ah, the bliss of using a Mac. I don't know how you people deal with all of the hassles of Windows.

What an odd statement, it's not a Windows or Mac thing.

Yeah, I'm on a Windows computer and don't see any link highlighting. Nice try though.
