FWIW; the mods have nothing to do with the ad policy on FT. Heck, we have to pay the $12 just like anyone else to get rid of the ads 
I've seen my fair share of annoying ads on the web, and especially on a site I spend a lot of time on I'll be willing to pay a small fee to get rid of them, even though I have a perfectly effective ad killer running.

OP... install Firefox + ....... Plus extension = no more ads.
Which sort of points out that the ads are places there to encourage FTers to pay for premium service. And... while you didn't say it was the only solution, you inferred it to be the case by not mentioning those other solutions, like you would have had it actually been an even-handed statement.

That's really not the history of it. The ads are there to (help) pay for the site. Premium FT was introduced at the request of members. Thus the ads aren't there to encourage people to pay.

It may not have started that way, but it sure seems to have morphed into that function, especially given the seemingly-indoctrinated response from wharvey.

Sorry you believe I was not "even handed" since I did not offer every option possible.
