well, pam, maybe, if you regularly connected with this board.. and didn't just come by to drop off your ad, the response might have been different. I certain felt you have no real interest in the board and posting, or how we interact, you just saw AWAD as a vehicle for free advertizement. (by the way, AWAD does take paid ads of this type in the news letter... )

you are not the first, and the comments you garnered, are pretty mild. we are not a group to do mad flaming.. you do have your email adress in you profile, and if we really were a hostile group, you would have felt our hostility is a much more tangelable way than a few mildly worded repremand.

and then, after a mild, but firmly negitive responce, you come back to complain! i guess we are supposed to be happy you used us? and we shouldn't complain about it? really-- the words i can think to describe you are not ones i want to use. -- but RAPIST come to mind as being close.
