Re: CENSORSHIP OF THE NET

I hate ads too, and I avoid them by various means like this whereever
possible. See freshmeat.net for various linux local proxies.

However, these banners are often the only means of income for some
sites.
If they were banned, then many sites would shut down, or else have to
start charging membership fees or something.
