It is nice to know the direction development is going. One curious 
anomaly I saw viewing the site- It contains an advert (top right) 
leading to ad.au.doubleclick.net (don't click on it).
When I view the page, this part cannot be accessed, and I just found out 
why. My hosts file is protecting my system from undesirable content there.

It is taking a while to get used to it when I visit sites to find 
certain areas don't show up as the hosts file protects me from them. It 
is managed by a utility called "hostsman". Were you surprised that 
suspect sites could have advertising close to such highly regarded company?

You just never know where it will show up, do you?
