I agree with Ewok, here...I only heard one legal threat from a participant and a concern about what the content would be linked to from me...didn't see one other objection...
So...if you were listening to the *majority* of participants, you would have heard that your links (and other forms of advertising) and even subscriptions were supported. (I'd have to check closely on the support for subscriptions... that went both ways pretty good...) If you believe that taking off the content links is the right thing to do, then that's great. But you can't justify that because of what *most* comments here said... I'm standing up for your right to manage your list however you feel appropriate. I know you want to keep as many happy as possible, but I for one wouldn't be willing to go to the "poor house" to make everybody happy... But, take some polls, make your stand, and say goodbye to those who don't like it...

It seemed to me that most people were in agreement with whatever you thought best for the list. In any event, ads or no ads, fees or no fees...

Actually, I took them off for 2 reasons and 'whining' wasn't one of them. 1. This was an experiment to see if it was a valid form of advertising and how people would react. 2. It really is an invasion of the content that people put onto the site and it really isn't right of me to alter that content. I listened to peoples feedback on it. I balanced what they said and in the end, the rights of the site users were more important than advertising. >I hate that Michael took the link ads off because of some whining.
