Well, I have to say I really do appreciate the no-ads policy and the sound reasons behind it. I was made to realize how important and useful it was last year when I was about to have some robotic surgery for a hysterectomy. I found a discussion site that addressed many of my concerns, but it was so frustrating just navigating through all the ads in an effort to get to any messages or information, I finally gave up. It made me appreciate more than ever, this site and all those responsible for making OCF the excellent forum that it is.
