"You've got a couple of idiots operating their businesses via the free classified ads. Let me reiterate the word "free." Savvy? It doesn't cost them a damned thing."

We agree on the definition of free. Yet you want them to pay? Have you paid a thing for the free classifieds? Who appointed you the classroom monitor for the 24 HCF? I missed the e-mail, could you forward your copy to me? Thanks

"I've seen some boards with specific policies regarding who's allowed to post classified ads, with a certain number of posts required, certain levels of participation expected or financial support required of those who operate businesses."

Do you have a point? I have seen boards with none of those restrictions, including 24 HCF. Take it up with the owner since it seems to bother you.

Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.
