Ha ha, you're soooo funny. Though I think it would be someone who only looks at porn all the time that thinks that it's ONLY porn that has flashing ads and pop-ups.
Do as you say, not as you do.
HTH
Adzapper programs are useful, though they unfortunately delete adverts on sites where the advert is really justified (like/.)
The only reason I ever installed such a plugin to my squid proxy is because of the sites with loads of silly ads, all flashing or pop-ups.
A database of "obnoxious ads" rather than 'fair ads' would be better, though very subjective!
Not to mention the fact that when the verisign sitefinder site is down, or unreachable, you get a delay then a timeout error, so you assume the site you WANT is down, not that you've got the domain wrong.
(This has happenened to me a few times... Damn.. XYZ.com is down... oh, no, HANG ON...)

*MANY* ? I'd hope *ALL* otherwise they are too braindead to exist.
Falling back to the A record if there is no MX is in the RFC's. It's the required way of doing things.
You could argue that it's not a good idea these days -- and it's caused me hassle - setting up dummy MX records for domains with no mailserver just to stop spammers slamming the "A" address. However, this argument is largely irrelevent currently, as that's how things are meant to work, so that's how they must:-)

Why not actually learn how things work? Why not learn the difference between "hacker" and "cracker" ? :-)
