Thank you so much LRD for these tips. They work absolutely perfectly, and that hideous/insidious FB thing is GONE GONE GONE

Thanks again, LRD! If I filter out the header, I lose the MyFlyerTalk logo link that I've become used to using. I'll have to get used to using the one in the Nav Buttons Bar.
On a related note about cleaning up my FT pages, I only just now realized that I could collapse the "Quick Reply" and "Posting Rules" boxes at the bottom of the pages. I wonder what else have I never stumbled upon like this?

Chrome .......
In addition to FF, I also use Chrome. In Chrome, I have an extension called ....... (by a different author than FF's ....... Plus) with the following filter to remove the display of the FB Connect line:
DIV[class="tborder"] www.flyertalk.com
I don't think that this actually stops the scripts from making the call to FB's servers, though.
Here also are cosmetic filters for removing FT's header and footer:
div[id="header"] www.flyertalk.com
div[id="footer"] www.flyertalk.com
DIV[class="tborder"] www.flyertalk.com

I've started a poll about FB connect in Community buzz:
Does Facebook Connect enhance your FT online Community experience?
Initial results are interesting. Out of the first 24 voters, 45% have instituted blocking software. I'm sure in many cases this also means we're blocking the ads, which would mean this is really backfiring on IB- instead of increasing eyeballs this move may be decreasing ad views and revenue.
