Rob, most of us support this decision because of the great job you've done over the years and we trust you'll do ads right. This has been my top pick every morning for years!

I'm sure you've covered the bases, but there are some ads that aren't a good idea:
1. pop ups - duh
2. ads with sound
3. ads that pretend to be search boxes
4. ads that delay page loading. This one has made eBay a real nightmare. I have to turn off JavaScript if I'm browsing a lot of auctions.
5. sex related ads

You have my assurance, at least on a few fronts: No pop-ups (or unders), no ads with sound, no ads that delay page loading (I like a fast site, too). If you happen to see an ad that pretends to be a search box, or a sex-related ad, please let me know ASAP -- I can get ads removed with relative ease. There should never be any sex-related ads, though, as they aren't allowed into this network.

One more no-no

Please, Please, PLEASE, no blinking ads. NOTHING turns me off more than the rapidly blinking "you are a winner!" ads that seem to be everywhere.

That said, Rob, I support your decision and understand your reasons. Keep up the great work.
