But I really try to not have stupid annoying ads unlike practically every "respectable" site on the internets which have way more annoying ads than this site ever does.
And yes I know there's an occasional redirect ad which you should not be seeing and when I figure out why it's happening I will stop it, but yr editr rejects all kinds of annoying ad pitches and by reject yr editr means "ignores crappy email pitches from ad companies." The google ads plus the commissions from you people who buy all the weird shit you buy from amazon pay the bills reasonably well, but it's definitely the top up from the occasional fundraiser which covers the difference.
Everything I do, I do it for you.
