FireFox AdBlock training

Just a quick tip for those starting off with a fresh AdBlock install on FireFox: when you have a few hours of slacking available, go to GeekIssues.org and browse a few links. Filter any ads you run into, with partial URLs like .doubleclick.net, .burstnet.com, rad.msn.com, */ads/*, */ads?, .ads? etc, and you'll have AdBlock properly trained within a few days. Plus some entertainment.

That is, if you prefer not to use the gruesome, horrible RegExp expressions from their forum.

Btw: heed the warning in red at the top of the GeekIssues page.
