Hi! Ed,

A good thing, Ed.  It's doing its job...

I do that on my Linux machines as well, as a matter of routine with newly
browsed websites.

Ghostery is unknown here.

Nope.  You're doing well, Ed.  It's a slow process dealing with the garbage on

elsewhere.  Some sites just aren't worth the heartburn.

Cheers,
Paul.
