Dave, we are trying to watch out for Snake-oil ads and block them as they come up... Sean has blocked a couple ecosmarte ones already.
If I were not looking for 'bad ads', I would probably just roll past them also. However, I personally (and Sean knows this) think we should remove as many snake-oil ads as possible, so newbies to pools or this forum will not think we approve of or support such items. Hence I am watching out and letting Sean know!
I personally would prefer ads over a pay-to-post system. I subscribed Ben's site because after I read everything and posted a lot, I found it valuable, and wanted to contribute. If I had had to pay-to-post at PF, I probably would have read and read, but never joined.
