    Frustrating? Yes. Will this decision (or indeed the inaccuracies written about this decision on other sites) deter us? No.

    we need a raised fist smilie!

    no - not that kind of raised fist - a solidarity brothers one.

      The ASA's only sanction is to get their wet fish out of the cupboard.

      Why would anyone want to bother with an appeal?

        That also explains why so many sites try to insist that I switch Javascript on (or allow it via Noscript), when doing so offers me nothing in return, and in the worst cases a severe degradation in performance.
        IME they insist that you have Javascript so that that they can force feed you adverts.

        Which is exactly the reason that I have it turned off

          As a matter of principal and to shut the other party up perhaps?
          Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

            So in order to appeal, you have to create some zombies, and sacrifice a black cockerel?

                But that isn't always the case. It happens on sites with no adverts too.

                  So in summary, one company makes a number of claims which a competitor disputes, and a third party makes a ruling based on the affair.

                  <yawn>
                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    What exactly is the problem with the claim it's not all about money?
                    Do you really think there are no contractors who do it for the lifestyle?

                      I can only vouch for my comment, but it was posted with tongue firmly planted in cheek
