I'm in trouble

[Mark Walker]

I agree with Paul (as if anyone is still interested in my opinion).
Sometimes, based on content and context, I feel invaded, but mostly I just
ignore livestock advertisements.  On the other hand, I enjoy knowing what
species are actively being reared, and benefit from some of the rearing
exchanges that result from the ads.  For now, I'm content with using my
delete button.
