Doyle Lee Austin Davison Iv It is definitely spam; however, I did see an ad in the upper right corner for something similar. It could be AR advertising.

Doyle - I think this is a marketing/sales pitch from the AR people to purchase their other products. I would anticipate we will be seeing more and more of these.

I may be wrong but looks like possibly a KW ad. I believe this may be a new venue for AR in that Brivity, who is hosting a contest, had a pop up in the same corner for about 2 weeks. Mark
