 I love the ads, anytime. I don't care how classic equipment is offered 
 up just as long as it is being made available. I don't have any 
 problem with commercialism either.

      How about making Friday the "classifieds
section" day? You know, like 
 the local newspaper. Although classifieds appear in newspspers daily, it 
 seems that one day has many more than the others.

     This would reduce the daily FS/T traffic, but still enable people to
 trade stuff. I see ClassicCmp as a great resource, not only for information 
 not available elsewhere, but also for physical equipment and software which 
 is obviously no longer made or supported by the manufacturer.  
 Even if everyone could agree on this it would last for about 1 week and 
 then go back to status quo.  I really don't mind the ads.  They are not 
 excessive, they are reaching a good market where there is a win-win (the 
 seller gets some money and space back and the buyer gets first crack at 
 cool stuff), and they are more on topic than the drivel that has been 
 plaguing us for the last four weeks or so.
