Our posts are what make this site what it is, and as far as I am concerned, that should be support enough for the continued success of FT ... I really don't think we need lectures about our use of ad blockers.
Thank you, Blair.
Ironic, too, that it took four clicks to get this reply window to open. I'm sure it's being looked into...
It's also worth pointing out that, as Blair says, there would be no FT without a) the content supplied by members, and b) the assistance of the moderators (who collectively give IB ~$300,000 in free staff time a year, estimated very conservatively) to help keep FT from turning into usenet, to help newbies around, to help organize content, etc., etc.
And that's not to mention folks on the Talk Board who give hours and hours of what amounts to unpaid staff time working on best practices and policies.
