Those are fine by me. My problem with ad networks is that my machine is caught in the middle of upholding the contract between the advertiser and the presenter.

Those are fine by me. My problem with ad networks is that my machine is caught in the middle of upholding the contract between the advertiser and the presenter. That's their problem, not mine. I don't want to be part of that in anyway and I have every right to refuse to be. That and the personal tracking across sites, the sooner that dies, the better off we'll all be. With all that stuff gone, "ad" will finally be the correct term to use. No other form of advertising ever got to do those things.
