As I came onto the board today I noticed a large obtrusive ad for amazon. What's up with that?

That might be a nice way to thank the webmaster for providing this site for us to use. It does cost money and time to keep it running - especially on a quality server. Why not click it and make a donation???
This site is hosted with host4you.net - you can check the prices by going to their web site - http://www.host4you.net. They are a quality web hosting company - they even advertise (at least this evening) for a company that sells Adult Diapers & Incontinent Supplies. LOL Sorry, just had to throw that in. Host4You must need extra income themselves if they have to run LinkExchange banner ads on their home page. I can't stand banner ads!!!!! And, these ads change all the time - for variety - to keep you interested. HA...

Since you asked, I'll explain. As someone else has posted, running this board costs money. From time to time, I get emails from people requesting information on how they can contribute. Yes, believe it or not, this happens. As a general rule, I don't post banner ads. I don't like them, and most other people I know don't like them either. Banner ads used to be an effective way to make money, but I find the cost (in obtrusiveness) exceeds the benefit.
The Amazon honor system is a way for people to make anonymous contributions if they like. The banner I chose was one of the default banners offered at the Amazon website. By the way, it is the same Amazon that you know from the online book store. I don't like the banner. I don't like any of the choices offered. However, I'm going to leave it there for a while and possible change it to something else, most likely a text-only link.
If this ad is causing the page to load more slowly for any of you, please let me know, and I will make the change sooner.
wOW...that's your hair?!

Yep. That's me a few years ago. I haven't cut my hair since, but it's still essentially the same length as that, except that now there is a "blond" streak, made up of a combination of brown and grey hairs. I think I mentioned earlier that I was complimented on this streak.
