Guys----coming from an admin perspective (I manage computer networks), Ian's the admin, if he wants to break a role or two, it his prerogative.

However, he also needs to realize that we, the users of this board, are his customers. The only reason someone would pay to advertise on this board is if there are enough competent members that would ultimately purchase from the advertisers. With out that membership, advertisers go away.

Saying that, Ian is still the admin. And we should respect him for that.
