I have been wondering for quite some time why the ‘Referral Ad by Google’ appearing almost without exception at the top right of this forum is “Bharat Matrimony: Looking For A Life Partner Who Works In The Same Company As Yours?” rather than being anything even remotely associated with software. Is it just on my browser? Am I living in a minute bubble of the broader OutlinerSoftware universe?
There may be no rational answer, I just thought I’d share my bewilderment.

P.S. I have actually thought of an answer: that members of this forum have been psychographically qualified as grumpy antisocial people who would probably be at loss to talk about anything other than their job and to anyone other than a colleague from their own workplace.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, Alexander, but I suspect you may be the only one seeing that ad. At least, I don’t recall ever seeing it when I’ve been logged in. Right now the referral ad I’m seeing is for Small Business Software Demos.
I like your grumpy, antisocial theory (until recently I was a confirmed bachelor, but I just became engaged at age 51), but it doesn’t look like it is the case. Perhaps the ads are chosen by region.
I do laugh sometimes at the google ads that appear. I think whenever we talk about ECCO Pro the ads are for a brand of environmentally friendly footware or something.

Perhaps I should post some guidelines for maintaining a happy marriage? It’s worked for me (39+ years).
