[conspire] Inserting Ads Into Message Postings?

[Mark Weisler]

While looking for some information I came upon this web site discussing Linux 
matters...
http://forum.soft32.com/linux/gentoo-user-AMD64-Stability-ftopict333109.html
and found (apparently) advertisements inserted into the middle of otherwise 
informative Linux postings.

Have others seen this sort of thing? Is this a trend? Seems like, up until 
now, ads were somewhat segregated from the main material. Granted, there were 
tricks to get one to read the ads and notices disclosing that some 
information is an ad was subdued. But we may be entering a new age in which 
sites that may be "sponsored" will require the most careful reading to 
discern the author's opinion from the advertiser's ploy.
