I prefer to see ads in the digest.  It allows one to know what is
available "out there" and what people think some of this stuff is
worth.  I personally am not interested in buying anything (We have far
too many pianos and 'things' already) but I like reading the ads.  The
present level of ads to discussion is fine.  Other digests I
participate in, Antique Fountain Pen Collectors and 3D Photo, both
allow ads in the discussion area and probably at a higher level of ads
to discussion than MMD does.

Keep the ads.
