Thanks for helping to clarify the "native speakers". Just a minor correction. My Spanish is not better than my English. I am a native Portuguese speaker. ;-) <cultural_moment>Portuguese is also a latin based language like Spanish, French, Italian and Romanian, but it is a distinct idiom.</cultural_moment> > [This is aside from the ads jabs some are taking, which is easy to > solve -- don't use his site.] Right. After all everybody is free to go anywhere you want or not, with or without ads. Anyway, since you brought that up, I would like to clarify that this is often misunderstood issue. Nobody likes ads, including myself. Ads are obviously necessary to keep the site viable. Otherwise it would have been closed a long time ago. Anyway, for those very intolerant to ads, at least there is an option in the user options page that the can check to disable pop under and interstitial ads. This was never a secret, but I am not encouraging anybody to use that option either. The site needs the ad revenue generated by all the advertisiment. That option does not disable all ads, but at least disables probably the most annoying. For those that would like to see no ads at all and benefit from full site loading speed, after almost 5 years of promises, in the next months I will finally launch the package of premium services that among several other interesting benefits, it will provide an ad free site navigation, for a small monthly fee. I know that only those that real care about the site will adhere. But at least there will finally be an option for all those that avoid visiting the site because of the ads. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
