A few years ago, they tried running advertisements here but too many people complained so they stopped that. Just recently the biggest theater group (Plitt) signed an agreement with some rock video company to show a single video before selected movies; i.e., not in every theater before every showing. So far, I have only been subjected twice to this. I just hope they change there mind on this one too. -lml -- ----------- Ma faute! Comment cela? L.
