FSM at it again
Posted by Don Stauffer on Thursday, November 21, 2019 10:14 AM

Here we go again!  Each day I must refuse to download a particular Kalmbach ebook.  Same thing every day.  Why can't they believe one refusal is enough?  Last time I downloaded one of those, just to not have to click on the refusal, I began to get barraged with emails about FSM stuff.  I don't want to do that again, and I shouldn't have to click to get rid of the ad.

I guess I just don't see where it is a big deal to click on a X.

don't need to click on the "x" as clicking outside of the ad does the same thing. just finished doing that before i posted here.

As I was reading this post, I got that same pop-up. Funny thing is though, I get no pop-ups on any other site.

Get yourself an ad blocker extension for your browser. I've never once seen the ad you are talking about.

I use a good adblocker and I rarely get popups anywhere, but I think I might be getting the one Don is referring to almost each time I log in here the past several days.

Sneaky little rascal. The ad, not Don.

That said with the popularity of websites creating annoying messages asking us to disable our adblockers, they (adblockers) are almost becoming an annoyance in themselves, which is exactly what the marketing folk want to happen. Hmm
