Well, the fact I need to use it is a bit of a PITA and not enjoyable but I
digress.

The benefits of a HOSTS file far outweigh the PITA, IMO.

Yea, I know. Just saying it's a bit unfortunate that I have to in the first

would block sites that didn't warrant being blocked so now use MVPS as it
is less aggressive.

Contact info is at the bottom of the HOSTS URL.

AFAIK, "hpGuru" has retired or whatever another organization has taken
over his Forum and file. As stated is not as many words in above URL.
