even one more warning, before being tagged for review. The idea that one can pay good money for a membership and then be snuffed out in the same way as free riders does not sit well with me.

I hate Paypal (do the names Musk and Theil sound familiar? ) but I used Apple Pay, so they don’t have any knowledge of my credit card number. And I am a cheapskate.

You can use an ad-blocker, but I do recommend star membership in addition (Imagine the countless hours of work the admins are putting in.)

The rest of the internet is a world of nicer without the ads.

Even if you are a Star Member, if you are not signed into the site you will see ads. Once you sign in, the software knows not to show ads to you.

You are a Star Member so if you're still seeing ads after you sign in, please let me know because that should not happen.
