We try really hard to avoid using annoying, irritating, intrusive, or misleading ads – even if we make less money because of it. If you ever see an ad that’s in your face, please feel free to email me about it (and preferably show me a screenshot so I know which one it is). Alright, now that we’re done, get off the computer and go enjoy the sunshine!
