Derek, That is certainly a good idea, however I do not create the ad media. :-( A company called Burst! Media hosts the ad server, and finds adverts for me (the advertiser gets the say on what type of ad banner - HTML/Java/Shockwave (Rich Media) or GIF). I could do it myself, but wouldn't sell 1/4 as much - you have to be really of good size to do it yourself on ads. However, I do have some "special offer" text ads at the bottom of each page, but they aren't nearly as effective. -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.

Ok, here's a solution: stop using banner ad gifs and switch to text based banner ads. That is, have an HTML table element formatted to stand out, with nothing but text in it. That'll take hardly any bandwidth, it'll be difficult to block, it'll show up in Lynx, and people can still choose not to read it. I subscribe to a couple of joke-a-day type email lists and they both use this technique: text and a hyper-link. I don't bother reading them, but I don't mind receiving them. Everyone's a winner... :-)
P.S. But please, no <blink>tags!</blink>. wwwoffle filters those out!
Derek, You read my mind! :-) I'm planning some kind of script to block "non-paying" customers. I understand your situation, we have unlimited
