May I ask a question?
I saw here a couple of weeks ago about a writer's (I think) strike against Huffington Post, and few posters here linking to that site. I am now seeing many more links...Is the strike settled?

1. It was a general labor thing because of HP's horrible treatment of their writers...
Including their labor correspondent getting thrown off the site after doing some articles they didn't like.

As far as I'm aware, the picket line has NOT been called off.

2. Thank you...
I will continue to not click on HP's links, then.

3. And you get the side benefit of not reading a bunch of tabloid bullshit. :)
Which seems to be all HP puts out these days: sensationalistic headlines and celebrity gossip. Ugh.

4. Huff Po alwasys played havoc with my browser
I have adblock and apparently all the crap they tried to load in the background freaked it out.. I would usually just click out of it:) Daily Kos does the same thing.. I just don;t ever go to those sites:)
