The Web is not the Net.

It will no doubt come as a shock to you to learn that there are Web sites
that do not depend on banner ads for survival (www.debian.org, for
example).  In fact, I cannot think of a single banner-ad-dependent site
that I would really miss.

If your advertisers want me to look at their ads all they need to do is
come up with content that interests me.  So far none have.
