Folks, just a friendly observation but I think John at Webflyer has clearly received our message that Flyertalk is slow and that most of us don't like the embedded ads. But as he says, he's trying to fix the speed issue and doesn't think it has anything to do with the new ads.
At any rate, the best place to state your views on this advertising might be over in the Only Randy Petersen forum in this active thread. Randy reads this thread and I'm sure will weigh in on the issue when he has time.
The time it's taking John to answer the increasingly angry questions here is time he could be spending on working on the speed issue.
Thanks...
