Hewsan, Kim, Vicky & William, Michael, Tina and Donna: Thank you each for your well-wishes and the points you have made- all valid, and I've carefully considered what has been expressed. I have written to Admin here at Renderosity to check on the feasibility of allowing an option to turn off the offending ads and banners. That would be wonderful, but I don't think it will happen. I've not yet heard back from them. There are other factors, too..issues that I won't go into here, because they have to do with what's best for me and my family. Mainly, I wanted you to know I appreciate and understand what you've expressed. Thanks again.
