This sounds great, and that was one of my issues, but here is another-- the

I don’t like the ads anymore than you do, it kills me to see them there. But
MOCpages had to shift to an advertising model (from a donation model) to stay

you pay $x to view a web site ad-free, you are removing $y of ad revenue. And
if $y is MORE than $x, we might as well make the whole site free! The trick
will be to balance it out; it’s all part of the cost model.
