No free ads!

[Bill Kibby]

The people who put this website together need advertising to fund it, but this is a Piano History forum, and not a dumping place for free ads for businesses. Any such postings will be treated in the same way as the sex spam, and dumped. However, I would ask our regular readers for patience, because the moderators, who give their services free of charge, have lives to live, and a living to earn, so it is not always possible to chase the spam every minute of every day. I'm not even sure it should be a moderator's job, and my own personal preference would be a system where we vetted every posting BEFORE publication, if only because of the appalling grammar, spelling and punctuation on some items, which make it difficult to understand them. This, in turn, makes it difficult for us to help people, and also spoils their shances of people searching for names if the spelling is incorrect.
