[WEB4LIB] Re: Free Britannica Going Away / Banner ads

[Daniel Messer]

Oh man, that takes me back. I remember them, but I haven't thought of them in 
a long long time. Now those weren't too bad, they were sometimes annoying, 
but nowhere NEAR as bad as what's going on today. My guess is that they 
disappeared simply because the advertisers and the people that actually use 
the banner ads decided that quantity equals quality. After all, why hit 
people with an ad every now and again when you can do it as many times as 
possible?
