And in the paragraph directly following the first graph, it says "Around 108 billion people have lived on our planet. This means that about 6.5% of all people ever born are alive right now. (5) As per 2011 estimates from Carl Haub (2011), “How Many People Have Ever Lived on Earth?” Population Reference Bureau." That's the SAME reference that's cited by Wikipedia.

Is there a reason you add it to your Contacts list, instead of just blocking the number itself?

I don't have an iPhone, but according to Apple Support, you can go to your call log (called "Recents") and block the number without having to add it. Apparently you click on the "i" icon and scroll to the bottom.

With an Android phone, you can go into your call log, long press the number you want to block and then select the block option.

According to Rothenberg:

AdBlock-Plus took to the digisphere to complain over and over that IAB had “disinvited” them to this convention. That, of course, is as much a lie as the others they routinely try to tell the world. We had never invited them in the first place. They registered for this event online. When we found out, we cancelled the registration and reversed their credit card billing.

So, they weren't "uninvited". That would be a "lie". No, they were banned outright. Cuz that's better.
