I just wanted to mention this to Mary (or anyone else in an admin position): I will happily, gladly, and willingly pay to make this board ad-free, if there is such an option. I know the url, "freeforums.org," doesn't indicate that there would be, but if it's at all an option, please consider it.

It would be the least I could do to cover the costs of making this forum ad free.

Please consider my offer -- which is actually a selfish one, not a generous one, because the ads here are killing me.
