This NG's charter allows for adverts, as long as they're not posted
more than once a month.

That statement is incorrect on more than one point.. Please reread the
charter.

Franz


It has changed. I remember the charter used to 'allow' adverts of up to 4
lines I think, every few months.

The charter allowa 4 lines not more frequently than once in 3 months.
Strictly, according to the charter, Tony is right.

And we are not happy about being proselytised in this newsgroup
In short, go away.

"We"? You don't speak for anyone else here, Franz.

Urg's communally agreed wishes on advertisements are defined in its
usenet charter, and a reminder of the charter's existence and
whereabouts is posted here every week. If you had bothered to look it
up, (as Tony Bull obviously has), you would know that the advert above
is permitted. It's on topic and conforms exactly to the requested
format.

You are right, Janet.

????????

"One month" should have been three months; but I can't spot any other
errors in her statement. Please explain.

This: "This NG's charter allows for adverts" is incomplete. The charter
spells out the nature of the adverts.

How about dropping the topic?
Yesterday, in another post, I have already apologised for jumping too
quickly on the OP.

Franz

Apology accepted Franz, however I can't understand why you have such a
downer on advertisements. You can at least passively ignore them. i.e.
don't click on them if you don.t want to read them. It's different if
they don't show the fact that they are adverts so you think you are
reading a genuine thread and it is in fact an advert. In the past I
have actually tried to answer some problems such as green pons,
sharpening spades, pumpkins etc. and I haven't always used the post to
advertise my website.

It is because I have a phobia about the possibility that the newsgroup might
one day be swamped by advertisements. I admit that it is only a phobia, and
not based on reality. I will try to restrain myself. {:-))

Could I perhaps suggest a less 'busier' site ?

-Maybe changing the colours to be in the same range would help.
-I'd also try to get the home page to fit onto a smaller screen
resolution as its always better not to have to scroll on the first
page.
-I'd use a different menu structure too as it's perhaps not clear to
people how it slides out (there are a lot of inexperienced computer
uses out there!)
-The follow up pages seem to have a lot of empty space on them.

Jenny
www.welcome.to/webwise

Thanks again Jenny
I have only just seen your constructive comments. I must try to do
something about the empty spaces and your comment about not scrolling
on the first page is so obvious to me but only now that you have
pointed it out.

Please do note that not everyone reads newsgroups the way you do. I
download all the articles in a newsgroup, including spam, and read
them in order.

The thing is, and I suspect this view is shared by many, is that this
is one of the few corners of the internet where unsolicited commercial
advertised (ie, spam) is depreciated. I like that.

I understand folk who indulge in penny pinching, but being worried about
something somewhat less than 0.001p is stretching it a bit.
