I'm only seeing them 2 or 3 times a week, they don't take up much screen real estate, and disappear when ignored. Some of the other annoying stuff like wanting to install browser add-ons are easily skipped, once you know they're a thing (I've probably installed Avast/AVG a dozen times, if not more). So, I'm sure bitdefender is fucking wonderful and so on, but I can't be bothered.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42608.113&return_msg=42608.111" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42608.113"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42608_114"></a><div class="message" id="message_42608_114"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Manthorp<span class="message_time"> 3 Aug 2020 08:04</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 3 Aug 2020 12:17"></span></span> <span class="message_count">114 of 183</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.114">42608.114</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.110">42608.110</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Left-hand mouse sites...</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42608.114&return_msg=42608.111" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42608.114"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42608_115"></a><div class="message" id="message_42608_115"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Mike (QUIGABYTE)<span class="message_time"> 3 Aug 2020 23:33</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 4 Aug 2020 08:45"></span></span> <span class="message_count">115 of 183</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.115">42608.115</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42608.1">42608.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I currently work as the Sr. Technical Product Manager for API solutions at the largest gift / prepaid card company in the US.<br /> <br /> I live in Dallas, Texas now and have been married 17 years.<br /> <br /> Time flies.
