9  respondants said OK to putting advert. mention in SUBJECT LINE but 6 said 
STICK IT, so promoting this way would still offend a large % of readers. 
Concl.: not worth the risk.

6 people said OK to adding an  "ACCEPTS ads" line to signature, while 9 
said STICK IT, so this doesn't float either.
Concl.: concept sucks

Lots of good points were made in the posts I received -- thanks to all 
who responded.

Overall conclusions: subscribers want helpful info and a chance to 
philosophize -- the original intent of the boards --  and do not want ads.

Heed the vox populi. Let's go diving.

It's not the pace of life that concerns me -- 
it's the sudden stop at the end.
