This is definitely an annoyance for coding the main page. I have to continually ask myself where to balance the vertical space usage, which is why we have two columns, but if the right column is going to be hit by ads of varying sizes, it makes it harder to have a uniform good-looking two-column layout (outside of the ad being there, obviously).
