-> The other thing that bugs me is companies treating web pages as a cross between
-> a billboard or other ad and a brochure.  If I'm there,  I'm there _only_
-> because I'm looking for some specific information.  They can make it easy for
-> me,  or they can make it difficult.  They can provide links for me to email
-> folks to ask a question or leave feedback,  or they can feel like that sort of
-> thing is "too much bother",  or make it clumsy and
cumbersome to use.  In the
-> latter case,  often an email to "webmaster{at}whatever.com"
will get there. 
-> Whether it goes beyond that point depends on whether there's anybody receptive

Looking a "Gift Horse in the mouth" are we.
Thewre is NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH.
Someone has to Pay fro the Web page. As th4e Internet has exploded the
costs kept getting Higher and Higher. Particualrly as Hits for a site
went up.
They have TWO choices, Become a Full PAY site or reduce the cost by
adding Ads.

Really WHICH do you perfer??

I for ONE will tolerate the ads, as annoying as they are, to get what I
ant at NO additional cost.

THINK ABOUT IT!!!!
