I agree with Rich ....banners cheapen a web site ...I
do not and won't click on one because I find them
annoying especially those d**n pop up ads. If we need
money put out a call to the membership, I am sure
enough would respond to take care of whatever needs we
have. I would be glad to kick in  just to avoid having
to put up with advertisements.
