I'm not asking for the Foundation to stop the

make the fundraising team's life harder. What I want is acknowledgement that
there is indeed a problem and that it will be addressed for next fundraiser.
I do want more than a promise of that, though. I'd like to see progress on
more reasonable banners during the next year before the 100% fundraiser
starts, so that we're not having the same discussion yet again.
Just used a not-logged-in browser for once. Literally the whole page
was the ad. It was startlingly obnoxious. I'm sure you can get
startling click-through rates with an ad that appears to completely
replace the thing you actually went to the page for.
