Stefan, I cannot understand your hard position on this.

- You have been provided with enough proof to see that it _is_ a
  problem.

- You have been provided with an easy way to implement, well not a fix,
  but a mitigation of the problem.

What hinders you to put a box around the ad? You still have not answered
this question, and I cannont understand why. Are there contractual
limitations?

You said so last time.

Well, understanding completely your point would certainly take pressure
on you regarding this subject.
