Michael, I’m going to disagree with you. For high-traffic sites, advertising is all they have. Think big. Advertising is a huge business.

How does Google make their money? Their AdSense program.

I love the sentence “Demographics have shown that not only are FireFox users a somewhat small percentage of the internet”

Onto the issue at hand, web advertising hardly increases the profits made by a company (similar to, but less effective than, TV ads). I say blocking ads is OK. And to deal with staunch Repubs, hang onto a copy of IE7, just in case.
