Agree. But the ads were getting me nuts.
Why I refuse to pay for membership.

Agree again!
I can tell you what they flipping advertise! At the moment I have a British Airways ad & something from B&Q. I don't have a holiday booked but I am thinking about DIY.....
Hold on...cheap mobile deal on the right of page...
Have you tried Adblock?

Sorry Pulp, our posts crossed. Yes, I have AdBlock. 
A friend recommended it to me, but after paying the membership. I'm like a caveman about computers.
Crikey. I only notice the adverts 'cos people mention it. But if one can block the ads for free, why does one pay the site to do it?
Because I'm gilipollas.

If you're into chess and want extra stuff, then pay the membership. But if you're like me and don't play chess anymore, just use AdBlock.

Well, when you put it like that.

Yes, I showed it to my kids. They bombarded me with questions. First I tried to explain them how Photoshop works, but it was a mess. Finally they concluded British are crazy.
Not all of us.
Ha. I did meet a crazy british person once. I think they grew up in Glasgow or some such & later moved to Bristol. After that, they were fine.

Yes, a 5 decker bus is really crazy.
Hold onto your hat! Low bridge coming up!

To the OP, sadly you are wasting your time on here.
I know, I know. his time is very valuable. So valuable, that he cannot sit and wait for his opponent to make a move in a correspondence game, winning on time.
Yes. My time is very valuable. And so is yours. Which is why I would never waste it were we to play a game. See? It's called basic respect. It's not that difficult of a concept to grasp. Everyone's time is valuable and no one deserves to have their time wasted.
Well hunnie you are right on with that. All my "hero" Kaynight said, it that you must be a lawyer, because your time is very precious. And you just admitted that, indeed, your time IS precious. Lawyers are often highly paid, you can take that as a compliment. As for being pompous, well...he did give the forum a choice...but you are very kind indeed because I appreciate the fact that you took time out of your busy day to keep up with this thread. I am certain that many users here on chess.com also thank you as well.
Took time out of my busy day to keep up with this thread.... You mean my thread? The one I started? The one that you and others keep going out of your way to not only comment on but keep up with? Ahahahahaha! You are indeed a peach.
And you proved me right, by the way. You did not see the insult because you did not want to see it. You even tried to hide it as being a "compliement". Despite what so many people believe, sarcasm is not a difficult thing to convey through text alone. But you don't want to tarnish the ideal image you've created for your hero so now you grasp at straws and try to pretend like he was paying me a "compliment".
Please. Keep going. Your self-denial and hero worship is hilarious.
As above...I don't have the time to dig through the posts either, but based on the title & the last entry...err no. I don't know why people PAY to be here. And PAYING to be here has no relevance as to how seriously you take on-line chess. There is so much access to serious stuff if that's the way you want to go. It's a great site really...but just because you won't or indeed, can't, pay is not a reflection of respectability. Just a thought.
