The ability to tell journalists "Wikipedia is completly free of advertising" is 
worth more than a few cents from Google ads, IMHO. With ads, even if opt-in, we 
are much less of a bird of paradise in the web's top 1000. And there might also 
be a negative psychological effect on the donors.

If we once *really* need the money we should use opt-out, but I hope this will 
never happen.
