I have no problem with this at all.  Sounds reasonable to me.  Sig ads are
good for those people who have a web site (well, technically I often have a
.sig ad. :)  Ads do have a place here, IMHO, provided it's kept to a
reasonable level.

Once per week max.  The use of [AD} should be encouraged, but people being
people, don't expect 100% compliance.

I think this is reasonable.  I like the sound of that, but will be more
specific and say once per week.  Subject line to clearly indicate it's an ad
- Ideally with the banner [AD}, but at lease indicating "for sale",
"wanted", or some other clear indication it's an ad.  I don't think we can
enforce a specific banner too much, you can't get 100% compliance in the
real world. :-)
