Audiogon has gone too far, too fast with the ads!!!

I enjoy this site and completely understand and support their monetizing it more with ads, but it’s gone too far, too fast IMHO.  First it ran far too slowly, which they thankfully have improved, but we’re still left with ads popping up all over the place to the point of being overly intrusive, distracting, and annoying at least in my experience.  Past that, and even worse, if I try to post a response longer than a few sentences the site often refreshes and I lose what I’ve written, and that’s even with me proactively saving it as I’m typing (it happened twice while I typed this!!!) — this rarely happened before the advertising deluge. I just wish they’d back it off a bit at least until they can work out whatever limitations are causing these frequent and very frustrating issues.  Or maybe it’s just me?

It makes no sense to ask people to buy here or sell here.

Most people who transit or stay here do not buy or sell here or perhaps anywhere else much...

Then asking for selling and buying members  mainly will kill this site...

There is three part essential for the well being of Audiogon: the discussion part (political part) and the gear managing part (economical part)...

The third part is the general orientation of the forum, the cultural part...

As in anything else binary thinking is the death of thought ...

It's so true!!!!  There seems to have been a new standard operational procedure implemented across all mass media, TV, radio, and the internet, that has substantially increased the volume of commercials and pop-ups wherever you turn.  There's no escaping it!!!  I had been a 40 year listener to AM radio, but recently stopped listening to it because, now, you get more aggravating commercials than normal radio programing, and the commercials themselves are some of the worst IMHO.  Happy listening.
