Regarding the message at the top of the home page " Congratulation! Your IP Address has been selected as a potential winner"; is this really part of an ignorance test to assess the progress since 1973?
I’m so smart my brain hurts.
Sadly, neither we nor the READER have any control over which ads are placed there. I wish 'twere otherwise, but 'tisn’t. The way the commercial whirled works, I guess.
To clarify, we have control over some aspects of ads, such as sound - why we’re still getting noisy ads is a matter of continuing inquiry. Unfortunately, we don’t have the ability to filter for ads that insult your intelligence.
I think our subscribers are plenty smart. (Subscribers don’t see ads.)
I am now a subscriber. I guess that makes me plenty smart. Now when I close my eyes I don’t see the ads.
Actually, it’s an intelligence test being carried out all over the internet, by aliens determining whether internet users (as presumably brighter than the average of humanity) are smart enough to figure out how IP address tracking works. The idea is that if the number of people answering doesn’t decline in a manner that indicates we are smart enough, they will exterminate our species as “too stupid to exist”, rather than “worthy of joining the Galactic Federation”.
When/how did you subscribe? I’m not finding the transaction.
Can you contact me off the board so we can find out what happened here? [EMAIL=“TubaDiva@aol.com”]TubaDiva
WOOSSSHHHH! See the last sentence. 
I like your line"Tryin to think/nothing happens"
So I might have been selected as a potential winner and don’t even know about it? Well dang!
