   How many ads does AdClear generally block for you?   
   o And does it block a _lot_ of ads from "Google Backup Transport"?   
      
   Mine has blocked 34 ads since it was installed on March 19th, none recently   
   (all but 12 from the 2nd-line phone apps)   
       
      
   But 12 were from Google Backup Transport, whatever that's doing!   
   o Google Backup Transport [What is it & why is it serving ads   
     I've never seen which AdClear had to then block?]   
      
      
   How many does your AdClear block in four or five days?

   Usenet is so much more valuable, and pleasant, when adults share ideas.
