That's my complaint about the web too is that there are too many damn
advertisements. Its a pain for a screen reader as well, and I can't
imagine how bad it would be for braille displays. What kind of ads are up
there? Are they ham radio related, or is it just a bunch of crap that
isn't related to ham radio?
