Re: [projectvrm] Paying Adblock to not block

[Doc Searls < >]

As usual, a great post. Thanks!

One suggestion (not just for you, but for everybody interested in studying 
advertising deeply): link "signal" when you mention it to one simple and 
clear explanation of what it is. Because signal is one of those variables 
with a near-absolute disconnect between importance (couldn't be higher) and 
understanding (couldn't be lower — at least outside of economic circles).
