Link redacted as being onerous in that it requires readers to allow Ads.

EDIT:  A reader reports that when he goes to the link above his browser sais he  "had to deactivate (his) Ad Blocker to view.  I do not receive such a warning, but be aware.

Well I tried to go there. It told me I had to deactivate my Ad Blocker to view. I went to do that and my firewall immediately warns me it had already detected four tracker programs. So I will pass on this site.

Walt,
Had I done everything right throughout my life, the World wouldn't have noticed.

OK, that site is The Washington Post. I certainly would not visit a site I felt uncomfortable with.  My Browser, FireFox,  has Ad Blocker enabled and it saw no problem with the site.
EDIT: I used my phone to view the link by coming to rontini's and clicking.  No Ad Blocker admonition.

I'll edit my original to include your concern.

Have you previously white listed WAPO in your ad blocker?
