A few people might find this information genuinely useful, but I have to be
extra careful because I have an obvious financial interest.  I think the
only choice for me is to err on the side of [AD], although there is nothing
stopping you from cross posting it to [PIC] if you personally believe it is
a useful announcement.

I've often wondered about that, but I have no idea.  I'm guessing most do
because most probably enable AD to start with to see how it goes then don't
disable it because the traffic is so light and it doesn't seem to be abused.
