Yes, I noticed that. However, they should often be diverse in terms of the
advertiser (never seen 3 from the same domain registrant), be relevant, and
reflect on financial interests. This is just too awkward and there is no
rational explanation that I can think of.
It is likely to be a case of 'Buggeration'. Could we soon see lowercase
buggeration in Webster. Or 'pulling a google', meaning "the process wherein
one deals with zillions (googols) of useless pieces of information (as in
subdomain SPAM)".
Hey! Check it out. Wikipedia is fast.
