FOUND: Internet Banner Ad for CKFR! I'm stunned. I was perusing the Motley Fool, when a banner ad caught my eye. This is in itself unusual, since they all occupy the same position on the site with the same size, it's easy to tune them out. On it, a little girl was posing the question to her father: "Did you REALLY use to pay your bills with paper checks?" Intruiged, I moved the mouse over the ad. The ALT text (the text that pops up in some browsers when you place the mouse over a graphic) read: "Click here for CheckFree." I'm speechless. CheckFree, advertising it's own brand name? I clicked ... ah! The link is to <http://www.e-banking.org>. Benny had posted the link here like two weeks ago. Veeeeeeeery interesting .... what are those sneaky little dudes up to? Comments? Prognostications? Wild-ass guesses? Bit.
