Occasionally messages will show up with a banner ad as well. It has also
been my opinion that I can ignore them easily enough,  but I have had
reports that some of the ads cause some systems to redial the connection
to the ISP when someone is working off-line.. I can't say that many have
that problem, but it is a nuisance to some.

At any rate a buck or two from enough folks who would like to do away
with them will solve the problem. It is certainly a low risk
proposition. Purely voluntary. No retribution for anyone who doesn't
contribute, besides I won't even know.
