Gmail

My Gmail is showing me advertisements for left-handed keyboards. I have no ideas why this is.
Does anyone else find the threading of LiveJournal comments a bit of a pain? It hides the reply box and links as 'quoted text' for me when a person comments for the second time; is there any way around this?

Maybe you often mentioned the words "left" and "hand" in your e-mails? *shrugs* You know how Gmail works, yeah? They scan your e-mails for certain keywords to target the ads specifically to you (so AFAIK, it's not a person who reads your mail, thank goodness, it's just being electronically scanned, but it's still not something I'd want done to my e-mail, which is one reason why I'm one of the few people who don't want Gmail). Wonder what'd happen if you sent an e-mail with the words "sex sex sex porn porn porn"...

As for solving your LJ problem, I have no idea, sorry.

P.S. Lovely color scheme you have atm.
