My client has ads on his site -- some of his users have complained about 
the ads (which are inserted as regular content elements). He wants to 
add users who don't want to see ads to a "no ads" group and then set the 
ads so that they do not show up to users in said group.

If the ads were inserted in the template, it would be easy -- but they 
have them scattered all over their site as content records. I considered 
adding all his users to an "ads" group and then only showing them for 
that group (and removing users who complained from the ads group) -- but 
then the ads wouldn't show up for anonymous (not logged in) users.

The easiest solution seems to be to disable content on a group basis -- 
it also seems like it would be a handy feature, so I thought I'd go 
ahead and put an ext together.
