Sounds sensible

It sounds reasonable to me, frankly, if it helps keep LWN going and it keeps the animated ads / popovers / javascript crud away.

I'm an always-meant-to-subscribe-r (just need to get a credit card - and I've been saying that for two years) who'll be glad to see the site keep going and remain a worthwhile and rewarding thing to work on for the staff.

In text ads are annoying, but overall they're not too bad if they're well identified by the CSS. The convention seems to be green link text and a double underline, and that's quite clear enough that I for one won't get confused.
