Like lots of people I run ABP on all my own devices (and on my kids devices too - so they don't get baited into clicking on shiny, sparkly ads and taken off to who-knows-where on the 'net).
Quite a few sites spot that you're running an ad-blocker and ask you nicely to turn it off - I will do that for sites I like *BUT* if the page starts loading slowly OR the ads load first OR the ads are intrusive and not actually relevant to me then *BANG* you had your chance - ad-blocker is back on.
And I'm sorry El Reg, but you're one of the worst offenders for this - the ads you allow on the site are bloody awful and fail on all three of my criteria.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
