Managing the level of ads, how in your face they are, how many sponsored posts there are, etc. must be difficult and I see that. Too few = no money = no content, where as, too many = some upset readers. I respect that, and really meant to be helpful.

I'm not going elsewhere, and only meant to voice concern over the ad-level. I should have been more clear. I really do apologize.

Really didn't expect this kind of reaction either.

I chose my blogs based on their purported content, the quality and timeliness of that content, and it's unobtrusiveness (i.e. how much it makes me do things other than becoming informed in my area of interest). Too many posts that are counter to that set of criteria, and, 'bye-bye, not in my feeds anymore.'

This request would count against that total.
