I understand the need for an organization to maintain various revenue sources. However, the relatively new CF practise of putting advertisements into the body of threads is both obnoxious and distracting.

Maybe, just maybe, if enough members post their objection to this practise, the powers that be will re-think and find another way to meet financial needs. What do you all think?

(PS I hope this new thread is not contaminated by putting an ad in it!)

So the ads bother you yet you have missed the other 10 threads started this past week about this same topic? I guess repost after repost doesn't bother you.
