No it's advertisement for paid ads to pay for Head-Fi to be active on the internet. Do you know the financial status of Head-Fi and the costs necessary to run a large website?
I'll tell you what. Both of you guys PM Jude and ask him how much money he requires to run the site. Then you to can split the costs and then we can talk all we want about the sponsors products and they can save a lot of money and we'll remove the banners.
Better yet, go and run your own website and then come back to us and tell us how it works out for both of you.
Also, I don't think an MOT should be complaining about the advertising of others. Isn't that close to a conflict of interest?

Aaron chill out man,
nobody is complaining about any advertisement, we all know that paid advertisement is needed to run this website, specially while it has been supported for years by one single man funs in the beginning.
I was just explaining why the original poster opened this thread, because you took the wrong approach playing devil's advocate, as he was not complaining about the banners, he was complaining about the location of the banners, that is completely different...
As I stated before, that was not the cause Jude himself stated while moving the banners, the only reason I recall of, was the CanJam upcoming meeting, well CanJam is over, so the one who asked for the movement of the banners back, not me BTW, is not asking for any irrational thing, IMO, specially if he doesn't know of any other reason, as he seems not to, till now....
We all know the costs of running a site, or at least have an idea, but it was ran before with the banners on the right, and honestly I do not see how to place them the left or the right, will make more money for Jude to run it, sorry to be so ignorant....
About the sentence, that you was mocking about, I do not see why they can not be used in the same sentence, but anyway, that is grammar, not the main topic of this discussion, here...and maybe I missed the meanings, maybe it is indeed an stupid construction, grammatically talking, and maybe you are right, but as you are fully aware, English, is not my native language...Sorry...
But FYI, even not being my native, I can tell you, that I could catch, with time, a lot of spelling and grammar errors from US native members, even from some of them that used to write in magazines, and presume of being spelling bit perfect machines...
