Ok, enough of this stuff. Establish a date to remove all ads and from
that point on, the page will either be sponsored by ads at $XX.XX per
year, or ads by donation...or it will be free as a community service.
But whatever, let's make up our minds and get it done. This has gone
on for far too long.
Best wishes,
Joe Nolan
