Stewart | I agree.
But I think somewhere it might be a rule of APS members to whinge & bitch about everything from spelling & grammar mistakes to exotics & cats, and if there is nothing on the site to cry about then you must read the local paper, do a google search or check other sites to find something, anything, to bring back to us lovely sooks to argue about. LMAO |

LMAO | By all means, continue to post them here so that you can abide by the site's rules, but it would also be useful to contact the site's owner (in this instance, me) and let them (me) know about the dodgy ad on their (my) site. There have been a number of occasions when members of this site have called attention to dodgy/suspicious/incorrect ads on my site, but no one's bothered to let me know. My site makes me no money, so I can't afford to check every ad every minute of the day. I rely on the collective mass of users to let me know about ads that need to be removed.
For those of you playing at home, here's what the ad said: Quote: |
