  1. What isd the point of all these ads Kathy? No one is going to look at them, and newcomers will be unaware of the Comments, or is that the point?

    • The point is that they provide my income. If there is no income there is no news website. As the majority of ads are underneath the actual articles it does not interfere with people reading them.

    • The same reason television channels & newspapers run commercials. Do you think this website would exist without them? I see them at the sides-so no idea how that would effect anybody seeing the comments section.
