And for a moment I got pretty pissed about denying software makers a valid revenue stream, although of course i guess adware in the sense they're banning is a valid revenue stream as well.. no more invalid than cross selling and any number of tactics people here use every day. But yeah I hate gator and cydoor and the rest of them as much as everyone else.
