Dmitry: Thank you for the tutorial on how internet sites generate revenue. Rest assured I understand now, and I understood prior to your "lesson", how that happens.

FYI, I was a career software developer of big bux applications and I wrote code that is STILL running in data centers around the world, even though I retired 17 years ago.

Is this the point in our discussion where I mention the significant amount of time and energy I expended in the early days supporting SI, suggesting enhancements, testing a zillion scenarios ... all at no cost to SI?

Is this where I mention speaking with SI Bob about a joint venture a decade or so ago?

Or, should I wait until a bit later in the discussion?

No matter how you slice it, ticking off your long term loyal users is not a good thing to do. The amount of revenue that will be "generated" by suppressing ads from those folks is far offset by the ill will.

There! You now know my opinion.

But, that's just me exercising my right of Free Speech, which I and many thousands of other men and women served in the armed forces to protect so you and your members have the right to speak their opinions without undue censorship.

Which brings us back to the banning of Dale Baker ...

Sure is a pretty day.
