Re: Ads
I have been getting the same thing for at least a month. I had another thread about this at that time and it was poo-poo'd off so I just delete the offending ads.

Re: Uncanny stories about A's
I think the Truly Nolen pest control sold out of business in the early 70's. Yes they had a store in most major cities in the US.
