We have taken a big hit from this action. Communicating with humans at Facebook is nigh on impossible. (They like their robots.) We hope to resolve this situation, one way or the other, early next year.<\/p>\n<p>It takes a lot of cash to run a respectable website these days. I am sure many of you have noticed an increase in the number of ads on our pages. In an effort to keep DCT a free source of quality information, this has been necessary. Advertising is our only source of income and ad blockers are our great nemesis. Readers do not have to click on ads for them to help us. You only have to see them. Please whitelist us in your ad blockers if you find our site useful. Sorry, but this simple reminder needs to be iterated once in a while.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of our dear Aussie friend and long-time DCT contributor, Jim Hillier, we run the giveaway contests every two weeks or so. Well, I need a break. We will start running contests again in January 2023 sometime.<\/p><div id=\"daves-1707929967\" class=\"daves-single-post-in-content\" style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7205184075006101\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7205184075006101\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2700504761\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>To all those readers who have been supportive over the years, please accept a big thank you.
