Ok, so let’s assume that they put 3 links at the bottom of each column. Then they need to go through each column once a week or so to check all the links to make sure they still work, and replace them if not… now who is doing this again? The people who work on this website do so for _free_ you realize…

I’d also like to echo the sentiments of the other posters to this thread, especially the one who said you were dense and rude.

I’d like everyone to stop posting on this post. Why? It’s obvious that I’m not liked too much in here now. I don’t believe I found one positive response to my post, that’s all I was looking for.

So, let’s end this “thread.”

Sorry you feel ganged up on, OP. That doesn’t help. I think others got frustrated when you failed to acknowledge that your concerns here were addressed pretty thoroughly. Nothing wrong with saying, “huh. Good point, I was wrong.” You’re in good company, though. Plenty of people have a hard time with those words. I think in this case it would have been appropriate, rather than simply asking everyone to “stop the thread.” However I will reiterate that I’m sorry you felt ganged up on.
