Marc,
I agree in a large part with Ben Diss 1st post.
I understand the need for your ad support. I do disagree with you
You never minded the ads because you never saw them. going to a new post brings you right past the ad at the top of the page every time and out of view.
as to not seeing the ads. Everytime I respond to an e-mail advise of a new post I have to sit and wait for at least two ads to load below your header data and say Engine conversion and the thread data before it ever gets to the new post. I must have seen Wacker's ad 100 plus times!!
