Dear teachers,
many thanks for correcting the paragraph below, especially the use of "annoy + ing":

"The resons are in the links below. If you don?t want to annoy (yourself?) in reading them, just ask yourself why there are on the web so many anti-paypal sites.."

Hi Alex

I'd change your sentence this way:

"The reasons are in the links below. If you don't want to bother reading them, just ask yourself why there are so many anti-paypal sites on the web."
