[pchelpers] Re: Mozilla revamping Thunderbird

I have the option of allowing the page to show.  It gives me a choice of 
keeping it blocked or unblocking it.  I look at the offending ad in 
question and if it's one I'm familiar with and I don't think it's 
tremendously harmful, I allow it and unblock the page.  I always delete 
my cookies anyway when the browser closes, so if the website is 
otherwise reputable, then I allow it.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
