What if the money from Amazon or Yahoo were the thing that was to keep
BrickShelf alive? Lots of us use Amazon to buy LEGO, or LEGO related books.
Lots of us use Yahoo Groups for private LEGO based mailing lists.

I really don't see your lines as drawn, Tim. We just got over being all
pissed off at eBay over the BrickBay/BrickLink thing...why are they OK, but
Amazon or Yahoo aren't?
I say Kevin does whatever it takes, as long as he is willing to deal with
it, to keep his site running. I'll likely not click through more than the
most targeted ads, especially since they'll likely be for sites I already
have bookmarks to, but if it takes a Yahoo or Amazon (or whatever) ad, that
Kevin agrees to, to keep BrickShelf alive, then more power to him.
