Since the discussion started in a different thread (with the use of ad-blockers as a main topic)
I would like to comment on that first.
After I had to clean an accurately patched windows 7 twice from viruses
within one year, i do not surf without ad-blocker anymore. A website that
finances itself from ads shall do so by including the ads into its own
URL-space (with that no ad-blocker would block them ... and with that
it is unlikely a site becomes distributor of viruses). If you are just including
a reference to some ad-junkyard, you have no control at all what you are
delivering to your reader. Using an ad-blocker to read such a site is pure
selfdefence.
So, if PZ hides its content so that ad-blockers will not see it, then
I will resign from PZ.
I might contribute a monthly or annual amount to a site if I feel it
has some kind of value to me, but I would question myself to check
this value occasionally ... so eventually I would resign after the first
period of paid membership (rather than just shutting up for a while).
Just my 2cts ... Rainer
