Macon, porn movies are sure not a part of theis ranchers lifestyle. :evil: I refer to the WasteAMinute websites advertised at the bottom of the page. I confess that I a may be speaking out of turn because I have not clicked on them, nor do I intend to. I can and will voice my desire to see them gone! What do others think?
Shortgrass, I agree with you, even though I use Firefox and never see any ads. But unless things have changed, Macon doesn't choose the advertisers. That stuff is contracted out and he only gets a small percentage of it - sort of a pay-per-click deal.
I discussed it with him at one time about some things that I found offensive. He agreed - just as I'm sure he would agree with you on this issue. But he also impressed upon me the difficulty that he had in getting them removed. Not that it was impossible - just that there were a lot better things he could be doing with his time.
After giving it a lot of thought, I had to agree with him. I don't pay anything for access to this site. Macon provides it free, and the advertising is the only thing he has to help pay the bills. If there's somebody here willing to click on one of those ads - and in the process take money out of that advertiser's pocket and transfer it to Macon's - well...that's really a pretty good deal for all of us, isn't it?
Even though I don't approve of them, when companies like that help pay the bills around here, that allows me to look forward to the better things on Ranchers without it costing me anything. Things that DO meet my approval. Things like Good Sunday Mornin'. :wink:
