I thought part of the point of the big persistent banner was that
after someone has seen it a few dozen times they'll eventually click
through to see what it's about. ::shrugs::
Sorry for the double post, there was another point I wanted to raise:
If we offer a dismiss then discover that it slaughters donation rates
what do we do? Restoring the notice a few days later would likely
offend people who dismissed it. In my experience the public is
totally fine with the banner that lacks a dismiss, but I expect they'd
be less fine with a dismiss button that ignored their request.
There is probably a solution to this that doesn't preclude offering
the dismiss button, but we should have it ready just in case.
