I suggested both of these months ago when I last tried to get Chris to cut back on his advertising. I'm glad (shown below) that Chris is finally looking at a web page. I have bitten my tongue (or fingers I should say) from posting anything else about the subject until someone did, I thought that was fair to Chris (believe it or not Chris I actually was trying to be fair... ;-) ), that perhaps I was the only one bothered by the ads. If that was the case I figured I was the odd one out and I would simply hold my tongue (or fingers). Glad to see I am not. If memory serves Chris felt the "attack" was personal, it is not. The "attack" is totally on principle that I do not think this list was set up for advertising. My still ideal post from Chris would be: "Abyss 1.20 is out. We are excited. Email abyss_details@xy*.ab* to receive an automated reply FULL of details, or check out our web page at http://......., or join our mailing list by sending mail to ........" Simple, to the point, it lets anyone that wants the info get it easily, spares the rest the GORY details. > > David: > > I was looking for a good homepage provider this afternoon. > They want BIG BUCKS 700-1,000 for a complete package, plus $75.00 a month. This must be business rates. I can have (not this acct, but on another) a web page for free. Sure I have to design it, but hey you start simple and get more fancy as you learn. If this is not business rates, then someone is trying to take you to the cleaners.. > > But yes, just as soon as I can, Abysmal Diving will have an FTP site, and a > WWW home page. You fail to state whether this means that the long ads to techdiver will then stop(or at least diminish). > /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ > Christopher M.
