jay behrensI find I am very much in Jay's camp on this issue. Besides, I like his idea of cutting in the major posters 
Besides, as pointed out, people myself, Barry, Mark Macrae, Frank Ward and other posters with vast knowledge are the true draw of this board. Without that knowledge base, this board is nothing but a chatroom.
Trevor also makes a good observation, this post wasn't made by Leon with his mind undecided. Each psot he made gave the impression that he had already decided that he will be running ads and that he is basically trying to find out how flack he is going to get.
I'm against the ads. There more than enough frequenters of the board that if if everyone pitched in jsut $1 each, it would more than cover costs and give Leon a little money for his effort. If I was running the board, that's pretty much how I'd do it.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
