Have you bought anything from DU's advertisers?
I've checked out a couple of them but I haven't bought anything yet.

I really don't like the commercialization of DU, but I understand the admins' need to do it. My distaste is not really due to any anti-corporate sentiment. The advertising just slows down my already slow dial up internet connection.

A limited edition red dragon miniature... (this is not the advertiser, but it's a pic of it that I found easily)

Well, it's not too miniature, as it is about 12" tall (supposed to be on the same scale as a human miniature that is 1" tall, meaning the dragon is supposedly about 72 feet tall, if real)

5. I've bought the New York Times
But I don't subscribe to it.

I guess that counts.
