My Norton Firewall blocks most adds so I don’t find it disturbing at all. In fact the Ad for Art.com helped me a great deal.
One of my anscestors was rather good with a brush and out of curiousity, I clicked on to see what prints of his works they were selling. I saw that one of their prints was an obvious joke. But if you’re charging good money, it is forgery. I knew it wasn’t the sites fault so I sent them a friendly e-mail describing the problem. Three days later, they sent me a nice message thanking me and assured me it was being taken care of and it soon was. Some distributor caught hell.
But the point is that without me seeing the ad on ILP I would never have known of this and contacted them so thanks ILP.
