people like to do it this way. Without being influenced by anything
commercial. Do you remember the days of the internet where si
Given that banner ads have many objectionable features -- waiting for the
damned things to show up from a remote server being the most egregious -- I
am wondering what would be a better way for companies to tell us about
their products.

Sure, /etc/hosts. Add something like the following:
127.0.0.1adserver.naughtybannerserver.com
Alternatively, you could block out ads using ipchains:
ipchains -A input -s adserver.naughtybannerserver.com -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j REJECT
Or, you could use junkbuster to filter the traffic.
