He isn't here to help me; He isn't here to advantage my financial state; He isn't here to be witty, to chat with no other ulterior motive than the sheer joy of sharing our common humanity; no. He is here to sell to me. His presence is in my face; he interrupts my enjoyment of the Conversation I am having with my other friends; he has an agenda and that agenda is to obtain money from me.

Why can't you understand this?
Your whining and bitching over something so trivial not only shows that you're a drama queen but that you have NO FREAKIN CLUE as to how much it costs to run a website with as much bandwidth requirements as this site has.
I don't like the ads as much as anyone else and I certainly won't be reading/clicking on them, but if it's necessary for this site to stay operational so that I can continue the e-relationships on this board that I've had for 5+ years now, I'm more than happy to walk past the SALESMAN to talk to my friends every once in a while.
