KeepItSimple,

They can use the "revenue" from their ad-banner-swaps to pay the bills

Sort of brings this exchange to mind...

An Internut employee shopping in a 7/11 store..

Internut employee: "I'd like this package of chewing gum, and a fill on pump #4."

7/11 clerk: "Sure thing sir. Just leave a twenty and come back for your change."

IE: "I don't have a twenty. Have you got change for a banner?"

Clerk: "Huh?"

IE: "In our industry we haven't used cash in months. In fact, we don't even have a cash flow statement. We use the new currency, banners. Wanna see our banner flow statement?"

Clerk: "Uh... No. Just a twenty will do fine."

IE: "Forget it. I'll go elsewhere..."
