I've been reading CP newsletter for the last 7 years but today...
-
So I went and clicked a few things on my most recent Newsletter, dated Dec 19th (and tried a Daily News, too) I saw no Ads or anything out of the usual. Firefox 8 (Adblock, Ghostery, Better Privacy all running)
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein
"As far as we know, our computer has never had an undetected error." - Weisert
"If you are searching for perfection in others, then you seek disappointment. If you are seek perfection in yourself, then you will find failure." - Balboos HaGadol Mar 2010
I feel tha adblock things are cruel on the companies that try to make living through ads, such as CP. I didn't block the ads as a mean of support, but the current approach they took is really unacceptable.
Make it simple, as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Ghostery blocks Web Beacons (selectively). But as for blocking the ads - a necessity as here, at work, if one doesn't block them then (depending upon the source) one gets these red/white/blue screens replacing them saying 'you are not permitted to ...' and continuation will 'be reported to Human Resources' And, of course there's the pop-up blocker. But, then, too, these folks are trying to suck away my privacy (cookies and flash cookies). My sympathy has passed on to another place. For CP, when I get an "Offer", I will click through it if it's interesting.

I, as usual, opened CP daily newsletter, ctrl + click all the items that I like then closed my email and started reading them. First article, it is in a HTML frame or maybe an iframe (I don't care), it is in a frame within a CP layout?! I was shocked and horrified! Did CP lost their mind? Is this trend going to continue? Do I have to opt-out from the only newsletter that I subscribed to willingly? Second step, I clicked "remove frame" from every single article. That seems to me as CP is taking credit for these articles while CP can only claim the credit for FINDING them and DELIVERING them. What era is CP still at? Wake up people!

Sorry guys, The first 20K members by ID, so only long-time members, got their Insiders from a test run of a new mailer we are developing. Unfortunately, the Url used for the news was incorrect. Rest assured that we will fix this before rolling out to everyone. When done, it will make a great article about Evil Message Busses, Distributed Transaction Horrors, SAASy architectures, Razor Template Engines, and how to paint yourself into a corner with bits. :cool:

I think you're getting worked up over nothin'. Now, if someone had stolen the last of your bacon, that would be a reason to get upset.

No I haven't... I'm still getting platinum 1-votes on my Rules of Survival. Even after inviting people to man-up and talk about their 1-votes, nothing but silence has erupted.

I just don't understand how I - without a doubt the FUNNIEST person here on CP - could garner so many 1 votes. I'm amazed. I'm flabbergasted. I reek of humor. I AM the laughmeister. I'm Mr. Guffaw. (I should also probably mention that I'm heavily armed and have a short temper, but hey, you have to take the good with the bad.)
