Hi: I was just reading another thread where Barbus (?) had just returned to the Quilt Board after having been off for awhile due to knee surgery. All the comments were made by all of us and when I got to the bottom of the 2nd page I noticed (again) that there was an AD for info about knee replacement surgery. Another time awhile back I was reading a thread and the subject of the thread had another such advertisement or info site where we can click for more info....
Isn't modern technology amazing? How did we ever live all those years without this instant information system at our finger tips? I'm amazed everytime I do an e-mail or look up an answer for my DH's crossword puzzle and have the answer instantly or as I write this exact note within minutes thousands of people from all over the world will see it, read it and (many of you) will go check the threads to see what the AD's or links are on any particular topic...amazing!

Nope! I have Ad Muncher to keep that junk off my screen. Though I read somewhere that you can set the latest versions of the Internet Explorer browser to filter out ads. Haven't figured out how yet, though.
