I told you this in a thread the other day, too.
paulycy posted their reasons for the thread in Post 619. For me, it’s about keeping FR alive and the donations coming in.
Jim, not trying to be rude, but aren’t you concerned about pledge drive overload with threads like these? The current method (donations) aren’t working. I think you have a notion of banner ads as being dangerous or hazardous? Look at Drudge. He uses them and makes a profit. I think you can too.
