Unfortunately it's a solution that doesn't scale.  I can spend some 
time and do such things, but it doesn't fix the problem for other

We need an Internet Consumers Association that works on - and in 
conjunction with - IIA, AIIA and marketing and advertising industry 
associations, to get the messages through to marketers and 
advertisers.
