Subject: Commercial Advertisements in FidoNews

Responding to your question about commercial advertisements in FidoNews, my preferences, fwiw, would be as follows, in declining order.

• Don't include them.
• Include them summarized into a separate file.
• Include them in a separate section near the end of FidoNews, after the articles.

Thanks for requesting input.

Not without heavy editing. I could see running a synopsis (maybe a couple or three lines per item) of the better ones. OTOH creating one would be a significant amount of work.
