Now, that's the best idea I've heard... Let people pay for a subscription for no ads, otherwise ads are turned on...and if anyone doesn't want links in their posts, they have the option not to post (and I don't know of anyone whose input this list can't survive without), or perhaps Michael could set a flag of some sort on the poster's account to stop the links.� Of course, if the poster decided to opt out of having their posts linked, they should have to pay the subscription fee to participate...

Maybe Michael could introduce a subscription service with a small fee, so people have the choice to turn of ads when they pay for it. It imho also gives something back to Michael for his hard work.

Its difficult to ignore the links in certain notes when in a paragraph with CF mentioned multiple times times gets linked each and every time, and most of those links tend to be irrelevant. I have no problems with targeted adverts on the side and top, but the highlighted links in green in the text itself degrades how easily the text can be read. larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:203660 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
