Just a quicky-I find these "new" pop-ups recruiting signatures for petitions annoying and unhelpful. I view DK on a tablet often and they are difficult to dismiss. They also pop-up whether or not I have already signed the petition or not. I have checked my status and found that I have indeed signed some more than once. I have now simply stopped signing.
An added distraction is the growing number of e-mail solicitations for "small" donations so that we can reach $xxx.xx by a certain time. I believe I receive an average of four of these a day: "just send $3.00."
That adds up to $4,000 per year which is a third of my Social Security (as of today!)
I am sure that I got on these lists by either signing a petition here or by donating a "small" amount here. I don't do that through any other site. I no longer donate.
This all is a site mutation that I find annoying. JMHO
