Hi Dan,

I was the one who reported the problem in the first place. I certainly don't begrudge you the ability to have some ads to pay for all your trouble. 

On the other hand, I recommended CHIRP on another list and one of the recipients got screwed up by malware installed by clicking on the big green "Start Download" button, not seeing the tiny "advertisement" label. So at least one person has bad things to say about CHIRP, thinking it's a scam and the site is filled with malware, and there may well be more out there. So that's not good for your business either.

Is there any way to do a better job marking the adverts and distinguishing them from the real download button?

73,
