Re: (Fwd) [HARVEST:553] replacing doubleclick, etc. ads

I created a transparent 32x32 gif (http://www.brisnet.org.au/blank.gif).
Feel free to steal it.

Anything that matches my banner-stopping patterns gets redirected to it.
Most ads vanish. Some have width/height tags that rescale my transparent
gif to the right size (still vanishing), some have a border wrapped
around them (who cares. It might look a little odd, but I prefer to save
the pennies).

Yes, I do have a cheap and nasty redirector that does this...as well as
a few other things. I can't give out the All Singing All Dancing Tap
Dancing Topless On The Fridge(tm) code that I wrote for work, but I can
throw around this cheesy little thing. It doesn't perform well under
high request rates (go figure, it's perl, that's why...also the coding
is pretty primitive. It was late and I was in a hurry).

Quite a few people still use this ugly son of a sea-serpent, though. If
you want to as well, let me know. You're welcome to it.

Did you read the documentation AND the FAQ?
If not, I'll probably still answer your question, but my patience will
be limited, and you take the risk of sarcasm and ridicule.
