There's one of these damn flashing ad banners on the site again. Could you guys please get rid of it?

Thanks,
Charles

What browser are you using that you can't get rid of it yourself?

Um, AFAIK only OmniWeb can selectively block ad banners, so if I use any other browser to access MacNN, that crap comes up.

I'm just asking MacNN to block it, in the Feedback forum, where people often post such requests.

You're pretty touchy. I didn't say (nor mean to imply) it was a stupid request. I was just curious why you hadn't blocked it using one of the numerous methods out there. Obviously, the choices available don't match your needs.

Sorry if you took it some other way.

No, I didn't take it personally, it's just that your reply was sort of like

"Someone at your ISP sent this spam message"

"Then delete it!"
