I myself am already so annoyed at the whole way internet advertising has been handled, and the utter disregard for our concerns, complaints, etc., (and this is not addressed to you or ATS personally) that I could care less if the whole industry comes crashing down.

but i was let down when ats switched to advertising i consider them to be distractions and eat up bandwidth.
however i do realize the need its costs money to provide ats and i would rather deal than ats start charging subscription fees.
now im off to go take the survey.edit on 13-5-2011 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

I have been aware that the "tracking" described above does not identify me as a person, but assigns a alphanumeric code to my computer.

Again, as I see it, there has been nothing but utter arrogance and disregard for us up until now from the whole industry.
