I subscribe to pay version of WSJ for news, not blogs that are filled with pop ups, advertisements and redirect app’s etc .....
If I link a site I do the whole link versus HTML so folks here know where they are headed. Example:
http://www.wimp.com/nuclearexplosions/
Instead of < LINK>
If you read the thread or viewed my website you'd know there are no ads, pop ups or redirect apps. I share your aversions to online sites, but you can find those items on more standard websites than blogs nowadays, especially "journalism" and news sites.
