Banner advertising on the board?

[Archive]

Are we taking ourselves a little too seriously here? I mean, we're talking about an innocuous "banner ad" that exists on most every website we visit. I hardly think it's Big Brother-esque, I mean, we're talking baseball cards here, not plotting against the government. I hope that these advertisers would have better things to do than to "monitor" what we post and I know that most people on this Board won't hold back, thinking that Joe Orlando is going to retaliate if we criticize PSA- and if he does-sobeit. Leon has made it clear that he's not going to "mointor" posts based upon who advertises.

Maybe I'm being dense, but I'm missing the point as to the objection. In a perfect world, we would be free of advertisements. But, if this will make life easier for the guy who puts in a tremendous amount of time (and patience) helping us babble on (hi Leon ), then what's the issue?
