The end of the third paragraph:

As with Google ads, those running with Javascript disabled will not see the ads.

On third thought, anyone can avoid them by turning Javascript off.

Or more practically, by getting adblock and blacklist *.intellitxt.com which gets rid of these hugely annoying ads with no detrimental effect whatsoever. (infact sites will load sligthly faster)

That's not the point though. I don't want LWN to be one of those trashy sites where you need to go to great lenghts to remove misfeatures and crap that is purposefully added by the site-owner to make it half-usable.

LWN is much too classy for that, and should remain so.
