The harsh reality is THIS!! We are now in the XXI Jahrhundert...
and MANY, if not MOST, folks want to get insanely rich...just
like the CEO's and such they read about!

One of the ways to do this is to ADVERTISE whenever possible!
About 75% of my daily newspaper is ads, along with a significant
part of my e-mail and the usual innumerable flyers stuffed into my
mailbox or included in my daily paper...?!

Welcome to the new age...?!?!

FEH!!
