On at least one try I've counted at least two minutes trying to load a single page. If there isn't a way to disable whichever portion of the code is making a call to facebook.com during the page load, I'm guessing that any of us behind firewalls that block facebook will not practically be able to access FlyerTalk.
We do the same thing at work. I haven't been at work to test this yet, but if the same thing happens to me, this represents a major problem (not to mention it could be tracked back to me that I was allegedly trying to access Facebook).
I really don't want to have to mess with any ad-blocking software to fix this.
