I'm probably in minority but...

Thanks Sandi.

Google doesn't always use your surfing history to show you ads. I don't know how their ad logarithm works - but I know for sure that they do take your surfing history into account to show some of the ads some of the time.

I mentioned that, because Dien said:

"Google's "contextual" advertising doesn't always get it "right"! "

And the visitors surfing history may be one of the reasons why we think Google doesn't always get it right.

It had nothing to do with your personal experience. And I never meant to imply that you visit websites related to guns and violence.

For the record: I do wish you wouldn't leave Sowpub just because of a few ads.

I didn't take it to imply anything of the sort from you, Ankesh. I was merely pointing out that the Google theory could be very wrong. Apparently, Dien and you agree with me somewhat.

No worry about me leaving Sowpub unless I give up on the internet (which I've considered from time to time). On days I feel like quitting, it's because I am faced again with the reality that the internet and I are a poor fit. I CAN do but most days it's a struggle to even bother starting. How's that for an approach-avoidance conflict?

Ah, well...we do what we can, as we can, I guess.

guessing ...since I have just been to the warriors forum , that my cookie said to google s

display some war games

and the site

is

www.battlefieldsports.com

or maybe
www.battlefieldgames.com

I am getting scared lately .....I almost agree with Michael , except along different lines. People complain about 'situations' ...as if the govt created those without any input from the citizens...if you dont like the laws, start to politic and change em

here in Jackson, I am starting an revolution of sorts. Having learned that the local school districts budget is 308 MILLION to educate 31000 students , with a 40% drop out rate, and average teacher pay of 45k a year...hmmmm

isnt that about 12,258 dollars PER student...wonder how much it cost to send em to private catholic schools...

at any rate, I will involve myself in that battle...wont get into the gun there ...never had one put to my head, that must have been something. God saved ya I guess for some UNfinished work you have to do ...

have a good one

Dang, I hadn't even noticed
any of the ads until reading
this post.

Probably continue to gloss
right over them in the future
too.

I guess I dive into the posts
too quick to see anything
else.

adios
