Agreed!!!
...even better...before we "Freak Out"...how about we sit down and relax before we decide to write something...(this would be about anything, not just the ad hubbub lately)...
I think that a reason to "freak out" over ads is that one of the benefits of being a premium member is not being bombarded with them. If I'm paying for a service, I shouldn't have to pay again by having ads forced on me when I use the site.
Question: Do you pay for your access to the newspaper or TV station sites? I seriously doubt it.
