Your suggestion for dealing with this scenario is better than mine.
As to the ad-free FT qualification, I personally have no problem with that providing that as you suggest it's not the
only qualification. However, I think that this might make the proposal more controversial to some.
Once again, the mailing list thing really is not relevant, if for no other reason that the TB / RP / FT shouldn't make rules they can't enforce.
