I hope you guys will understand the way I must deal with this. Thanks.

ClapLOL
 
I still love The Elder.Big smile
I get to review it at the MMA and will do so soon.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

It's bad enough that the music will make you uncomfortable.
And they won't turn on the air conditioning?

Pah.

Have you tried starting another thread on it?  That should finally stop it. 

Then again, there still is the option of using a browser with an ad blocking feature.

However, if you are a masochist or insane, keep on doing what you are doing.   I'm certain sooner or later you will get the result you are after...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Well, I took a bullet and scrolled down the list of dates in the ad.  It looks like we're stuck with it till September 27th.  Pinch

They are coming to Michigan? f**k, I guess I can't read.

Strangely, I was getting it on every page but now I am getting this every page, I guess because Bristow is closer to me than wherever Kiss is right now.
