Find me one, just one, moisturizing cream that makes such a claim.

They use more weasel words than the Wikipedia page on the Rwandan genocide.

Put the following line at the end of your hosts file

127.0.0.1	ads.doubleclick.net

You'll be surprised to see how many ads disappear.  One line.  50% of 
all Internet ads gone.  Not bad, eh?

It's about the biggest ads pusher and cross sites profiler you can find. 
But just that line is not quite enough, it also use those:
ads1.doubleclick.net
ads2.doubleclick.net
ads3.doubleclick.net
ads4.doubleclick.net
ads5.doubleclick.net
ads6.doubleclick.net
ads7.doubleclick.net
ads8.doubleclick.net
ads9.doubleclick.net

It also use the same with .com.

Adblock filters it as *.doubleclick.*

I wasn't trying to be exhaustive ON PURPOSE.  Andrew seems to think that 
something is worthless unless it's 100% efficient.  I was just pointing 
out how trivial it is to do most of the work.

At the moment, it's a vacation spot, with some light contracting work (as 
of today).

*Very* light, not enough to really subsist on, but enough to stretch the 
savings out. :)

That's certainly true, too.  And as it happens, I'm learning about 
Microsoft technologies doing it, so rounding out the experience with 
something a little more recent than 8+ years ago.
