It's not about having MORE ads. I have no problem with ads that support a site when they are relevant to the site and have things that I am interested in. I'm not anti-advertising at all, I am anti-annoying-intrusive-advertising. Dave needs to make a living and the servers for this forum have to be paid somehow. I would prefer it via a means that works for both the advertiser AND us users. The ads are there but not in your face, no motion, no sound, etc.
To be honest, these TI ads, quite frankly are perfect. They are HIGHLY targeted and often have parts that I didn't know TI had. Sometimes I click on it just to find out about the part, others I actually get a sample sent to try it out. This to me is how advertising SHOULD be.
