Hadron's talking boolshit anyway. First, most of us wouldn't find the
articles. Second, Roy's making a hit. Third, his summaries often draw
us to read the original, thus giving the site hits they wouldn't
otherwise get.
Oh, and turn off your ad blocker. You are depriving corporations of
revenue that is rightfully theirs. You are taking food from their
mouths.
