Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. And yes, I know the audience is very small right now but I believe in time that will change. I'm not sure if I've "jumped the gun" and acted too quickly, but this experiment is worth the effort and time to see if it will actually work.

I'm excited to see what happens in the next 10 days, let alone 40 days.

The reason why I've opted for showing no banner ads is because I don't think that the sharing of information should be diluted with outside influences. I have made plenty of money with banner ads in the past and I know with the right audience and the right amount of traffic you can make a killing. But, that's why I'm doing this site. I'm doing it for my love of science and the cosmos.

Thanks again.
