Greycleaner Q (is for Quiet, unjustly applied and not applied)
Hey LJ, Maybe I shouldn't expect much wisdom from a 10-year old, but..

this blog, the one where I rant about the stupidity of the retail sector, has a pop-up commercial for Best Buy. Yes, there is fully functional Close button. Yes, I'm a freeloader on this site, a prosumer who provides only the content that gives anyone a reason to come to this particular blog, and not a very productive prosumer, really. Still, banner ads are one thing. When we progress to pop-ups, you're actively wasting my time. Keep that close button fully functional, bean-counters. I'm not just typing to hear myself think; certainly not to hear Madison Avenue think. You, LJ, are still superior to the newspaper that charged ~$70 to run Dad's obituary on a Monday. That's advertising rates. Sister was mad, too. I assured her the Internet is killing the newspapers. In my naivete, I'd assumed all these years that the part of the paper that 40% of readers turn to first was... y'know, news people wanted to know, info provided as a public service, meaningful primary content. and if obits are advertising, ours didn't get much bang for our buck. Numerous wake-goers told us they almost didn't see it, didn't realize it was him, almost missed the Wake (and probably others actually did miss it). Insert swear words here.
