I notice that with my laptop (Win 10, running Chrome), longer threads have gotten balky since I turned off Ad Blocker for this site, and the Flash plugin stops, then starts, then hangs, then sits there, then crashes - at which point the site starts breezing right along.

My semi-serious request for Charles - could we just get a kill switch for Flash and be done with it?

I’m being facetious - it really doesn’t bother me that much.
