I thank long-time blogger buddy Bill Keezer<\/a> for pointing out something that should have been obvious. To read an online article at a money-grubbing site such as NRO<\/a>, a site awash with advertising, moving images, noise, and what all else, click on the 'print' icon.  The article should  appear without the junk.  But you knew that already.<\/span><\/p>\n

I may not have the prettiest 'skin' in the 'sphere, but at my site you will find no advertising, begging, moving images, noise . . . just solid content day after day, year after year.<\/span><\/p>\n
