I've still got my free subscription (I'm afraid I might miss something good) and I have to admit, I just don't see any ads. Oh, I know they're there, but I don't notice them. (Don't let that get back to the advertisers, of course.) Same thing when watching a TV program; my wife will comment on a commercial and I have no idea what she's talking about. I'm like a TIVO, I guess, and tune out when the commercials come on, and tune back in with the program.
Sorry, it just seems to me that people who get upset about ads for products/services that they personally dislike are the same people that will chase you for two miles for making a right turn on red when there was a sign saying not to.

ummm, personally, I LIKE to know where an advertiser is coming from! As a Christian, if I want to look at books, I'd sure like to know ahead of time if the ad if from an "ateist book-seller"! And if I were an Atheist, I'd sure like to know the ad is from a Christian book-seller! But - as the poster before me, in all actuality, I rarely even notice the ads.
And as someone posted elsewhere, I would sure like to upgrade - but......... applying for SS because I've been unemployed for 2 1/2 years - ran out of unemployment in Sep10, my babysitting income just won't allow for even that small amount. Soooo sorry.

No apology needed. I'm glad there's an option that works for you. -rc
