How much of a nuisance are the advertisements and banners on R.I.A.?

They are not a nuisance at all, I have learned not to "see" them

They are heaven! Thank you for giving me links to good sites!

They have made me stop a few times and re-concentrate on what I was doing

They bug me, why must you use so many?

I hate banners and every damned site that uses them.
