[wp-forums] Services forum

[Vicki Frei]

I read this before I headed for town this morning.  I thought about it all day, 
waffled one way then the other.

I don't think it's a good idea.  I don't know that I can explain why not - it 
just feels "wrong" someway....  I think maybe.... it's reminding me of the 
debacle at phpLD (OS software, free but they pimped for dollars constantly, and 
even after donating - which I did - any time you needed help they wanted money 
FIRST....)

I think as well that it would cause more heartburn than it would cure.  At this 
point, I'd prefer just to decide on a "policy" for the out and out commercial 
advertising (like the posts which started this whole thing), sticky the new 
policy, and stick to it....

But of course, majority rules!  And sorry to be so long getting back to this, 
just was a long damn day.
