Steve, I got this in my personal mailbox but not from the list for some 
reason. Maybe it'll show up later. I agree with 99% of what you say but 
the right advertiser might be a good way to pay for the site without 
begging for money from members again. For example, Moss Motors or this 
classic car company that contacted us.
