I really agree: advertisements are a good thing to have on this echo. 
The disAbled community is very expensive to reach through traditional 
means and marketing costs are about 50% of the retail price of 
anything. Any way we can lower the barriers to this market, I'm in 
favor. It's bad enough that the disAbled are often ignored, we 
shouldn't throw even more obstacles in front of a company who tries to 
serve them.
 
The basic function of advertisement is INFORMATION. Sharing information 
is a major function of this echo, too, isn't it?
