To whomever administers this site:
Today, a Sunday, I escaped to my very favorite web site to avoid the carziness of all the political babble and television advertising my television offers -- only to find a political ad shouting at me from the top of almost every page on this beloved bulletin board.
Please, the revenue from such ads cannot be necessary. They have no0thing to do with Alfa Romeos and they shout. If we need more funding to run this wonderful bulletin board, please ask us members. We'll donate. I sent in some cash last year and will do so yearly if asked (and if you promise to keep this site non-political and free of such advertising).
As we move toward the 2012 elections just over the horizon, please, please, please refuse ads from both political parties -- and especially from left-wing and right-wing fringe folks. Life is too stressful as it is. Some of us need to escape into our apolitical car world. This terrific bulletin board has been a lovely refuge.
One final thought: This is an international site. It is viewed by nice people all over the world. Please let us try to keep some of the nuttiness we Americans are currently exhibiting from further embarrassing us. Our latest weird antics in our Congress cannot be viewed outside our shores as anything except insanity. The political ads up today do not help. Let's keep this behavior to ourselves.
Thank you.
