Too bad. The ads were more interesting than the article. (For example, British Airways' 787 service from SJC to LHR.)
I'm flying that in reverse in a couple of months. I hear good things about it.
So you're not only being blocked for using and ad blocker, the ad network now follows you back to the forum you came from and tells you about the ad you missed using old, low karma accounts :-)
It's one of those things you say as a joke, then someone turns around and does it for real.
Interesting. I'm using Adblock Plus for Chrome on Win7 and was able to view the article just fine.
uBlock Origin on Firefox and was able to read the article just fine.
