Maybe it is just me and my computer, but starting yesterday I noticed links to outside sites advertising somewhat related products for sale, such as Ebay and Walmart, in the text of project write-ups/responses. Here is one example. I am not picking on Les because I highly doubt that he included a link to a piece sold by Walmart. Has anyone else seen this or do I have a computer issue? Or, is this something created by the new, new site owners to drive revenues?

Although tempting, I just won’t click on the links. -- ok, is it cut once measure twice, cut twice measure once???? I know....I'll just keep cutting until it's long enough.

Apparently, the new owners are using Viglink to enhance revenues. Yes, I am signed in. I would suggest everyone respond to the other post. -- Art

Let me check with the company to see what happened. -- "Show respect even to people who don’t deserve it, not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours."
