SVN advertising on TUG?

Is anyone else seeing those "Sheraton Vacation Ownership" banner advertisements on the main TUG page? Very strange. Apparently, the good folks at SVN aren’t reading what we are writing about NOT paying developer prices to buy from them. In case any newbies missed the memo: BUY RESALE!

FWIW, although both the “Sheraton Vacation Network” and the “Westin Vacation Network” are still promoted by Starwood in its initial promotional materials, Starwood has actually merged both programs into the “Starwood Vacation Network” (aka “SVN”). This is the very same program, warts and all, that we’ve been writing about here on TUG for years. Newbies: Don’t be fooled by SVN into thinking that the “Sheraton Vacation Network” and/or “Westin Vacation Network” is/are something new or different from SVN. One would think that there would be a rule (hey ARDA!) or law (hey Florida) against promoting a "vacation network" that doesn't actually exist anymore, but apparently there isn't.
