Site Update

Advertising

Yesterday I put up some new advertising, and shortly afterward I got some reports of pop-up ads. There should NOT be any pop-ups, pop-unders or any annoying crap like that. If you are still getting pop-ups or just find a particular ad annoying, let us know. A couple annoying, stupid ads are certainly not worth losing readers over! I'll do my best to keep the annoying ones off of this site (ads, not readers ;-).
