Sounds good, except I would have to agree that the ad links in the message are not a good idea...too little control over links that could be presumed to come from the author. At least advertising to the right or below is usually considered to be inserted and not a part of the message.
Yes, I'd go for that...how about $25 per year for ad-free messages or free list participation with advertising?

That way if you're willing to suffer the ad links in the contents of the messages, you don't have to pay. But you can get rid of the ads by paying a small fee up front. Then after you log into the HOF site, the ad links in the message content would dissappear. This way all views are accommodated. larry -- Larry C.
