Dear ALL;
For what is worth.
There are a whole bunch of ways to block the advertising both for Windows and Linux.
So if those ads offend you download one of the many free ( as in free beer) install it and set it up to block ads,popups too if you wish. I did, no mre problems :--) easy too.
I however understand why the Dans did this, they even put up an informational asking what the board though of it. How many people here have bosses that would go that far?
Sending in the $10.00 to get them off here, nope not me I'd rather send it to BT-Humble's request he's doing something worth while that will actually help other people and I for one will continue to help him with this any way I possible can.
Send that $10.00 to BT-Humble let it do some real good!!
RUFUS, not trying to offend here, but the wording on the post was really bad; I can understand your anger at them , but please try to calmly type that anger on the board so we can all understand what your trying to get across.
I was banned from using our companies high-speed link for a while, so I had to use an old laptop loaded with dialup, linux and text posting. I may have misspelt words but at least I tried to make them coherent.
Please when you do post check the wording , or load up a grammtical checker, there's a bunch of free ones :--)
For what it's worth, I looked real close at the website in discussion here, and while I can read that they seem to be selling a pipe dream, they are not breaking the law.
NOW::!
Full disclosure here, I am a percentage stake holder in a company that is putting up those wind farms in Kansas, so I have some sense on what looks and smells like a pipe dream, and just to play devils advicate, I sent the re place an email requesting more info. I will let you know.
There is or was one person on here that is/was with them perhaps we could get them to add better knowledge here.
Board police, I do think there is a need. Otherwise the board would go all over the place and end up like those that are for OU. I have at least once before requested that they chime in to cut some of the offending banter.
The reality for the ads ar e just that , it takes money to keep this board up and this site is free to all viewers, I like that otherwise I would go else where.
Time for more coffee and see if there's any donuts left.
Y'all take care and enjoy life.
