Now that custom stamp thing sounds like a great idea. It could be used at a site like Cafe Press too. I don't recall how they do it. But I have gotten really sick of the flash ads on sites like yahoo. I have to put more stuff in my hosts file or use Ad Blocker on Firefox. And then you run the risk of missing images or information that is hosted on the same server as the ads. Example is images.yahoo.com and anything hosted on akamai.com
Funny you should mention this - I seem to have done soemthing with my home system that's blocking most of the images on yahoo's main sites. It's true in Konqueror, Mozilla, and Firefox, so It's unlikely it's a preference setting. I do redirect a lot of ad servers with my DNS, but nothing explicit for any yahoo.com domanin.
No problem with images outside of Yahoo.
