We couldn't agree more. We have tried on numerous occassions to use the automated system to purchase classified ads but the system was not functioning properly and would not process the order.
The forum is owned by Rick and Mary and when they say a line has been crossed we can respect that and we try hard to not cross the line again. I think you will find that we are generally not wearing our "BUSINESS" hat but rather wear our "SAILING" hat more often than not.
