do you talk to telemarketers, read junk mail, sit through the tv adds and piss during the movie ???

i didn't think so !!!

That's all good, but then as a webmaster, don't you think it might be worth at least considering blocking these type of surfers?

The even bigger question is, if enough sites were to block people who blocked advertising, could you make a dent in the number of people adopting these anti advertising programs?

If Yahoo, Google, The Hun, World Sex, and AOL were to start blocking people who blocked advertising, then either those people would have to go to other sites, or they would have to turn off ad blocking. It stands to reason that a certain number of them would turn off ad blockers if they wanted to access certain content.

This may not be that important of a question right this second, but as the web matures and these programs become more and more popular, something may have to be done. The web cannot exist as it does today without advertising dollars.
