Oh, sure, I block them in my local proxy. That's not the point. Advertisements mean the site's no longer independent or done as a hobby, but suddenly trying to be a paying concern. If the site owner is happy to do that, great for him, but it's not a site to which I'm going to contribute. (I get paid for writing; I'm happy to donate it to non-commercial venues, but if the publisher gets paid so do I.)
A donation option would have been entirely acceptable to me...
