I hate flashing, blinking, obtrusive advertising. The next thing you know the ads will have to be minimized before we can read the threads. GRR ARGHH!

I’m not picking on you, **StGermain** (or your poor thread), but since we already have a number of threads about the new ads, I don’t think we need any more.

It looks like **Garfield226** ’s listed the active ones, so feel free to add your comments about the ads to one of those.
