I am sad that many of the former members who shared knowledge and wrote with good humor have left because of a switch to higher paying advertising.

When the popup problems began I found I could use past knowledge to make them go away on Windows, Android and Linux,
but I was ignorant about Apple iOS and the fairly new to me iPad.
It took more than a week and maybe 10 hours of trying iOS browsers to find one that was effective.
Even so, about once a month I have to click the “Opt Out” link to make popup windows that are totally empty not popup.

I spent years meeting a weekly payroll for 800 employee,
plus monthly parts bills, medical bills, taxes, loan interest payments (some at Vocker 19.75%) and so forth.

I know the stress and trade offs.

In a severe past pinch I have done worse that accept annoying pop up $

But I am still sad that so many still living former members have left.

The members who have died have also left a hole where daily wisdom used to be.
