After reflecting on my earlier post and reading other’s comments I would
like to offer a compromise.  Allow
banner adds at the bottom of the post with info and possibly a link to the
poster’s web site., but prohibit direct referrals in the text of post itself
.  That would encourage the author to
post meaningful information and the reader to find more information or just
ignore the banner.  Then restrict the
size to 1” by width of page.  Something
like this (I hope it works)

great idea Ben but i
think we should also think about the work the moderator would have.
 
if i remember correct he
is doing it free of charge and i guess we need at least 2 people ( moderators) to
allow this kind of advertising.
 
you would need an
spreadsheet to control all of this *g
 
just my 2 cents

As a
long time member, I also support Bob's policy on not permitting any
advertising. I think any deviation from this policy could gradually turn
this group similar to some other spam-oriented groups.
Best,
Ned
