Gee, one can hardly tell this is a blatant commercial for a profit-making website. How subtle.

There is no commercial advertising on this site. <BR>This is the surest way to have NO ONE visit it. <BR>Please find an appropriate place to advertise. <BR>This is NOT it. <BR>Thank You.

Interesting to see Marianna has spammed her "personalized" message all over the non-commerical Internet. Anyone who abuses free, non-commericial sites like these probably takes advantage of her clients too. Here's her "personalized" appeal to the Thorn Tree folks.

Don't let her run roughshod over you.

She is up front and honest. She could have, like others before her, claimed to be a happy customer of this company. She has a service, offered it, if you don't want it, fine. Where are your holier than thou attitudes and morals when it really counts. There are some disgusting posts here, with unbeliveable language and you folks slam her?? Bob the navigator makes his living here as many many others. If you want to take up a cause get rid of the filth, and perverts who manage to post with out your scathing remarks and disaproval. Let someone try to make an honest living, what is wrong with that??
