Back up to speed

So the site seems to be functioning up to speed again, and I’m just about caught up with responding to emails.

A couple of things cross my mind right now.  One, please be civil.  I don’t want to be anyone’s baby sitter.

The second thing is that email addresses are not permitted in the ads.  Email addresses in ads attract the scammers and spammers, and they are hard enough to fend off as it stands.  I also get the occasional person who thinks I sell their email address.  I never have, and never will.  But then someone posts their email address in an ad, gets a ton of spam, and thinks I sold the address.

Phone numbers, while I discourage it, are permitted in ads.  I get a little chuckle out of things like this:

Thanks for looking, and if you feel like calling me with questions, please feel free to do so @ Five-7-Zero/3-six-7/8-zero-6-zero

I suspect that fails to achieve the purpose of getting the contact information out there, and if some crank calls you because you published your phone number, that’s a matter for the police to deal with, not me.

Best wishes to all of you,
Chris
