Intrusive advertising is THE cornerstone of capitalism...

Every member of this forum who puts a for-profit link in their sig, is engaging in intrusive advertising.

The owners of this forum are engaging in intrusive advertising via the banner ads that appear.

Also, I noticed Gordon (who has a link-in-sig), asks -- on his site -- for the services of a WP expert. The reward he offers him/her, is... an intrusive ad (for them, in his final product).

So, not only an intrusive ad user, but he's *trafficing* in intrusive ads (ie: he's a "dealer"), too! lol

Or maybe I'm just looking at the topic differently than Gordon is, overall.

I'm not saying I'm a *fan* of intrusive ads -- I'm just pointing out that they are *necessary* part (an INTEGRAL part) of capitalism. And the natural progression is for the intrusiveNESS to INCREASE over time, not decrease.

The ads CHASE the people, and the people cannot be permitted to "win" (or cap-ism will die).

Cheers.
