I'm working in a university, where I'm writing up instructions that
people will have to follow after I'm gone. Whoever replaces me is
unlikely to be up for visiting every student at home and guiding them
through an install process that should be well within their grasp.

Additionally, if we're talking about having people savvy enough to work
an ad, what's the point in having it? Either visitors are smart enough
not to click on the advert, or dumb enough to be fooled by it - neither
case strike me as a reason for having it there.
