Apologies. I confused your name with that of a "Nicolas" in another forum.

By what standards? There's a whole hell of a difference between
plaintext ads and html/animatedgif/javascript bs. You're missing the
point I fear...
I'm not missing a point, I'm making one.
Your unwillingness to pay for a service results in a cost borne by all the
recipients of your messages. It's not the perceived degree of blatantness
to which I object (I've become quite able to ignore all the flashing
animated advertisements on Web pages, where I've come to expect them even
if I don't like them). Rather, it's the injection of commercial messages
into an otherwise non-commercial forum to which I object.
Cheers,
