Thanks Jon.
I see Geo is here. I'll let him add this one.
If it's not up tomorrow I'll take care of it.

oops. The fouled-up letters pages was my fault. When I grabbed the no-ibc version there were two page 31s and no 32, so I re-numbered the 2nd one '32' without looking at the actual page #s.
Great to see an admission that ad pages are interchangeable, and that scanners use scans from other issues.
House ads are nice, but nobody should be doing regular ads, but I'm a lone voice in my ad-free wilderness.

I scan ads in older comics because I think they're interesting and because you can never be quite sure you've got an entire comic if you're missing some pages. (Other scanners have been known to skip filler items as well.) I do use ads from contemporary issues if they are identical. (Believe it or not I even check on those Dept numbers that are often hand-written and can change). I have a spread sheet that tells me which comics were published which months so I can quickly find contemporary issues. With older issues it often doesn't pay to go searching as it takes longer to find the other scan than to scan the four ad pages. If the number of ads gets up to 10 or so, though it's worthwhile. Also some ads may be on damaged pages -- as in this case -- so then looking for a replacement is a must.
I figure anyone who doesn't want to save ads can easily remove them. Some scanners scan the ads, but leave them in raw form with no editing. That is little work and those who want the ads can get them that way.
In any case, Len, thanks for scanning the ads for those of us who do like them.
And glad we got Wings #21 finally straightened out. :-)
