Yea, there are a few who still HAVE to use dial up, like at my lake house where there is no such thing as hi-speed, no DSL, no Cable, and can't find a place in the yard that can see a bird for statelite !!! and, no I'm not cutting down my trees!

So, I'm seeing a slow load and it's trying to do some doubleclick stuff, what on earth would be going on w/ doubleclick when I just open a thread on a forum? I can see DC in clicking a link to sponsor for add revenue, but this is a google-doubleclick url that takes forever to complete before the thread will load the bulk of the thread?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, any thing would help, like maybe a way to read the boards w/out the wrappers? more similar to the mobile apps for cell phones like blackburrys
