Title: Bizarre choice by "AdChoices"
Post by: Peripatetic Phil on July 23, 2012, 09:37 PM: Just reviewing my personal "sent messages" folder, and this popped up by courtesy of "AdChoices" :
Quote
Talend Open Source ESB : Open Source ESB Based on Apache CXF and Apache Camel. Free Download!

Now I thought I was IT-literate (after 35 years in the profession) but (a) WTH is an "ESB" (and for that matterm WTH are Apache CXF and Apache Camel ?), and (b) which member of "AdChoices" thought, in a moment of ?temporary? insanity, it might be of interest or relevant to members of a forum devoted entirely to curries ?!

** Phil.

Similarily, I get ads for Project Management on this site, but I work in IT, too !

I get those as well. Not interested in most of those, but I like to wear Doc Martins, check shirts and short hair, and attracted to women so maybe I'm targetted as a lesbian. 8)
