		<description>If you are going to get all crankey about FeedBlitz ads you should know they routinely have ads for astrology sites under the BA headlines. Now that&#039;s obscene! but scarcely adult.</description>

		<description>First posing naked on cheesecake calendars, and now sending &lt;i&gt;porn&lt;/i&gt; out to your readers? Have you no shame, sir?

Let me know if it increases your traffic. Maybe I&#039;ll try it too.</description>

		<description>&quot;adult&quot; means only one thing!

That may be true, but it appears that at least one of us was taken in by, perhaps, the more rational of the meanings. Or not?

You UN-checked Adult? Does this not mean that your site would NOT be considered &quot;Adult&quot; material (e.g. - a site for those who have never successfully reached adulthood ;-) ??

I have to say - I am perplexed. If you CHECKED &quot;Adult&quot;, then I would anticipate more material of a spurious nature similar to the item at issue. However, if you UN-Checked &quot;Adult&quot;, then I would presume that to mean this site is NOT an &quot;Adult-only&quot; site and such material would be expressly redacted.

Am I missing something???

		<description>One more thing. If anyone DOES use the Moli thingie noted above to request a copy, just give me a useable email address to send to in the message. I promise to delete it after sending the forward and it is just to keep those &#039;bots a little bit at bay.

		<description>Illucian - check your Gmail for a few days back - the one with the HEMA link. Be sure you &quot;display images&quot; - and give it a moment to go get them. Check the three or four linkie things at the top.

You might want to be sure no one important is looking over your shoulder.

		<description>Hmm, I get the FeedBlitz e-mails, and I don&#039;t seem to have the offending ad in my copy. Unless restaurant franchises are NSFW. :) I do use Gmail, however, which might have something to do with it? Though Gmail is amusing for its delivered ads on the sidebar and the sponsored link up top, given how very inappropriate they can be; by that I mean right now on the sponsored link with the FeedBlitz e-mail open, I have a website trying to claim that &quot;Science declares our universe is intelligently designed.&quot;</description>

		<description>We need some good astronomy porn to fill in the gap.  So to speak.  It can be educational!

&quot;Hey, baby, get a load of my ten-inch refractor!&quot;

&quot;Ooh, it&#039;s so...  large...&quot;  Cassie began to massage the bloated telescope sensuously.  &quot;And the light-gathering power scales as the square of the aperture!&quot;</description>

		<description>Seems like Knock-knock is still there ( http://www.knockmail.com/ ), but appears a mere shadow of it&#039;s former self - at least on casual glance.

I recall being able to set up timeframes for temporary mail addresses - as short as a few minutes and as long as several weeks. Now it looks like it just filters incoming mail on a &quot;what you use&quot; algorythm.

Oh well. All good things....

		<description>10-Minute mail - that is pretty cool - kind of like an old thing I used to use called &quot;Knock-Knock&quot; (Is that still around anywhere??)

But I think 10 minutes probably isn&#039;t quite enough for this little silly thing. Very cool thought though. I will surely use it in the future!

		<description>Hey astronomy freaks!

Telescope not big enough?

Looking to have longer observing sessions?

Equatorial mount not firm enough?

Then try some of these special blue pills from Bob&#039;s Amateur Astronomer &amp; Sexual Potency Warehouse!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Go to http://www.moli.com/ and sign up for an account&lt;/i&gt;

I sign up for very little on the internet without help from:

http://www.10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html

Whoever set up 10-minute-mail should get the internet equivalent of a Nobel prize.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I think we are learning just how good most of us are at mentally filtering the ads!&lt;/i&gt;

I believe there has been research showing that we are so inundated with advertising that people are actually developing mental defences against it... in effect, we&#039;re so used to ads we just mentally block them out.

It is starting to hurt TV and radio advertising, and that is documented... in part because less people watch TV and listen to radio, and in part because everyone just schedules their breaks and chats to go right over top of the ads.</description>

		<description>If anyone really, really, really, just can&#039;t live another day without it wants to see this thing, tell you what.

Go to http://www.moli.com/ and sign up for an account (free and easy, just like all this stuff) then send a note to the user that has the first and last letters in my name. Yeah - that is me. And I will forward the silly thing to you.

But - it really isn&#039;t worth it.

Moli might be though. Full disclosure, I have a friend that works there, it is a new &quot;community&quot;, I have no real clue how to use it, but he likes the work, so I try to support him :-)

		<description>It only came through in the feedblitz email version of the feed, right?  Now I&#039;m curious what it said.</description>

		<description>I just found it also.  No pictures...just words (unless my email blocked the picture!) but definitely NSFW.

I think we are learning just how good most of us are at mentally filtering the ads!</description>
