    Is anyone else irritated?

    This site seems to be overwhelmed with advertisements. In nearly every answer and/or comment, at least one word is in green and if my cursor stumbles across it, I am bombarded by an advertisement of some sort blocking my view.  Imagine California Highway 1 covered with billboards on both sides...

    Advertising...one of life's necessary evils...akaQA, television, radio, phone books, newspapers, sporting events...it's everywhere and keeps things operating. Without it, a lot more things would be on a "pay as you go" basis. :)

    That;s Bixby bridge. I love Big Sur. Used to go to a cool little hamburger place where they played jazz on the weekend and you could have your beverage of choice while you sat on chairs in a trickling river.

        Of course I do, and it annoys me too, but I guess they have to get finance from somewhere to keep akaQA moving along (slow as it is now).

          If you need cash here, let us past a sale item for ten days, or a lottery, or do a little craft fair for members over 10000 karmic points with 10% feed back. Or members send in lottery tickets for upcoming draws so we can all share the winnings, I can just see us win a $300 million dollar jackpot. I would think we, as members,  could do a pool even though we are globally based. Make up the rules and post it. I could Paypal you $10.00 a month  or so and we could all see what pops. Aka can carve off cost as it goes.

            Good idea rg, what would it cost me though?

            As is a $1.00 ticket yields 100% of the prize or $1.00 for the loss. If 10 people put in 10 different amounts ($1+$2+$3+$4+$5+$6+$7+$8+$9+$10=$55) If $1000.00 is won then 1000/55=$18.18 is returned for each dollar entered by each of 10 players. Payouts are $18.18, $36.36, $54.54, $72.72, $90.90 , $109.09,
            $127.26, $145.44, $163.62, $181.80 =$999.91 averaging produces the $.09 error. What would it cost? $1.00 per ticket…so do the math. Chance of winning more than you put in totally is extremely small, Odds are calculated by the lottery and are available. I haven’t looked it up because I rarely throw a few dollars into the ticket machines. From what I have seen the lottery is not an investment to rely on.
