i tried chris' tip this morning, and just removed it then. i'd love to block
doubleclick, but it effects browsing slashdot and other news sites (as laurel
mentioned).

<?>
if slashdot is so pro-privacy, and insist that they have control over slashdot
despite the two sell-outs, why wouldn't they require that any advertisements
come from a verified pro-privacy banner advertiser?
