I think doesn't really take any guts when you know you are not getting any fun or useful info out of looking at the sites. It's just breaking a habit, and particularly easy at that, because you don't have to fight against the habit when you set up the rules (that's just a cost-benefit type decision), and afterwards the rules are automatically enforced for you.

If it's just inertia that has been keeping you from doing this, well, you now have the instructions right there in Brad's post. It takes less time to "sudo pico /etc/hosts; lookupd -flushcache" than to make a cup of coffee. Do it right now if you didn't already.

Or else!
