 We can say, well I'm not everyone and I'm not falling for your
lemming trick.

You know the pushier a##hole Advertisers get, the tougher consumers
will become. Somethin's gotta give and let's hope it's not going to be
consumers. Something has to change about how Advertisers operate.

Their high costs for producing tiny little flash dash ads- mostly wasteful,
is passed onto consumers. I wonder how many people Know this....
and care.

I think Advertising has gone out of control. What do you think?
