"Because the Weekly Standard deserves our visits and business."

See post #10.

If The Weekly Standard "deserves our visits and business" then it should be ethical enough not to tag us with a lot of adware and malware.

One of the main reasons that FreeRepublic is successful is that people can come here and feel relatively safe in this environment. That's why a lot of us are leery about bloggers who post an excerpt to get a hit.

Looks like that wariness was well founded in this case.

Thanks for the heads up, Sal!

There is *one* “website stats tracker” on this site; Google Analytics.
It’s almost a necessity for any site owner trying to keep their site usable, navigable and fast loading so their readers keep coming back.

It is a -tool- advance the quality of the website.

There is one “FOCUS” cookie.

You can delete it if you want if you don’t mind logging in every time you visit ~or~ you can allow it for easy access.

FR is a good, clean site.

Kudos.
