[not necessarily for publication]

I personally have no problem with ads, as long as they are related to
the topic and are not an ongoing thing done by "commercial interests".
(Although I may not have a problem with the latter if some
reimbursement went to those who manage the digest)

I think the idea of putting ads at the end of the digest is an
excellent way of doing it. Maybe after a header such as:

•***********************************
            For Sale
**********************************

•(Maybe another one for items wanted....) This would make it very easy
for those who are not interested to bypass them.

If there was truly a lot of interest and readers felt it was getting
out of hand, I'd personally be willing to put up a web site for this.
