While I understand your intent, I don't agree that having advertisements is inherently evil. Ultimately, sites have to pay for hosting
(even if it's just a server in the garage...), & advertisements can help defray those costs. If energy prices continue to stay high, I suspect we will see a number of unencumbered sites adopt similar advertising practices -- especially if they intend to stay online
ad infinitum. All we can hope for is that ad placements are not so annoying or distracting that finding the
real content becomes a chore.
It is important to separate this issue from any behaviour seen by
Admin's of related sites. While I don't pretend to understand the motivations of the person in question, neither do I feel compelled to pay for his psychotherapy bills. The world is big enough that he can go his way, & I can go mine.
