he gets 400 calls and emails from people on a busy day and "most of them" settle... He says his company has collected about $500,000 for its clients since the Notice and Notice regime started almost two years ago.
Hmm let's see. Four hundred times (let's say) 250 working days in a year, times five thousand dollars: equals 500 million dollars, not $500k.

By using an adblocker, I'm cutting out the middleman. By telling you that I don't even need to see the ads, because I will never, never click them, I am saving you bandwidth. Because you don't even need to serve up the iframe. And your advertisers don't need to serve up their image, animated gif, embedded video and tracking scripts, thus saving them money that they can pass onto you!
