I mean really having a link for Physic Friends Network. Give me a break. I am sorry but I find it hard to support a forum that has to resort to using scams as advertisers. 20/20, Dateline, and even Readers Digest all say that these people offer no service except to relieve a person of their money.<p>I know that this post will be deleted, but I had to say what I thought.<p>Jim

JJ Lawn, I'm surprised your post hasn't already been deleted. The Physics should have known you were going to complain if they are real Physics. I have always wondered why Physics have to advertise, shouldn't they call you just before you call them, they are supposed to know the future?

It is better than the following that I saw in this mornings paper:<p>Grass Cutting- Will cut any single lot for $20 or less. Call xxx-xxxx.

Cantoo,<p>&gt;I have always wondered why Physics have to advertise, shouldn't they call you just before you call them, they are supposed to know the future? <p>I have wondered that also. And if there was any truth to their forseeing or predicting the future they darn sure wouldn't be stealing and cheating the poor gullible folks in this country. They would be sitting on Wall Street, Vegas, Race track, etc. <p>Mr. Stone,<br>&gt;But if you what to take control of your web<br>browser try the windows utility called intermute. YOU control if you want to see those adds, pop up windows, background music<br>etc. <p><br>I think that your suggestion is worth looking into, and will give it a try.<p>But the ad's on this forum are in bad taste IMO and should be removed. They have nothing to do with the business we are in. They IMO are thieves and cheats. And as long as they advertise on this forum I will not recommend that anyone visit here. Nor will I put a link to this page on my Web page when it is finished. There are plenty of legitimate business's out there that the forum operators could get to advertise here.<p>Jim

We use Advertising.com to help support the funding on this forum when I don't have companies in the lawn landscape business to help pay. I pay $250+ a month to maintain the server this forum is on and if that little ad from the psychis whatever helps keep this free you should be alright with it. As soon as LawnSite.com becomes more recognized with some of the big manufacturers out there I will be sittin on the high horse on a big peak. This site currently gets about 450,000 monthly page views so I have a lot to offer a advertiser. Its just finding the advertisers that want to pay the $$'s thats the hardest thing. If you don't like the ads don't look at them!!!! If you not interested in what the ad is trying to sell you don't click it!!!

Hey JJ the guys how are paying for this server space can't continue to absorb all the costs and I bet you might just be mowing<br>a few jobs you don't like to do make ends meet.<p>I told you how to eliminite the offending<br>material. There is no need to give them any<br>greef.<p><br>

If you don't like the ad, don't click on it. You get what you pay for, you don't pay a dime to visit this site so what are you gonna do?

oops, I thought we were all just kidding around, luckily it was Physics Friends and not Witch Doctors or I would have pins sticking in me... Damn and the Physics will know where I live too.<br>.<br>.<br>Well I almost got all my estimates done so I can go to bed now, damn I hate cold weather, been sitting here off and on all day.

Unless you are willing to send Chuck the 250$ month to run this site. I wouldnt suggest you tell him how to run his business. And I am sure he won't tell you how to run yours. Constructive criticism should always be welcome though. Least Chuck he didn't tell you to bite his butte. :)<br>

Hello:<p>LOL, I would rather the Physics pay for the advertising, than the Outdoor Power Equipment Manufactures!<p>At least this will keep equipment prices down. <p>The $250+ a month for server space is nothing, compaired to the labor involved in keeping this forum running. If you don't think so, go for it & get you a good mess of it. Do you think you can get a forum going this big? The time & money is astronomical!<p>Think you know a little bit about the lawn service business? <p>Get on the internet & try to make a profit. It will seperate the winners from the losers quick. <p>How many years, how much money & how much time did these guys spend before ever making a dime of income, no not profit but income? Go Figure!<p>98% of the people on the net that try to make money never do & 2% of the people on the net make 98% of the money! Where do you fall?<p>Hey, Administrator get it, anywhere you can, I think you are doing a wonderful job, I don't see anybody else doing it. I'm very proud of you, you've came a long ways since WWW.LAWNICURE.COM. <p>I hope & pray that you can sell more banner exposures than you can provide. You deserve it more than anybody that I know!<p>I'm sorry, I don't have any say so in this forum as to the way it is run, because I don't own it & I don't pay any of the bills. If I did I would do like I want.<p>Hey, I would like to see some Bikini Banners here my self, but I don't have any say so!<p>BTW, This is a off topic discussion, a complete waste of bandwidth. I want to thank the Administrators & the Physics for paying for this space!<p>I'm 45 going on 25 please cut me some slack? LOL<p>----------<br>GrassMaster - Home: www.lawnservicing.com<br>My Start Up Page www.lawnservicing.com/startup/<p>PS: It would help this Great Forum out a lot if everybody would click on some of those banners. It sure beats making offtopic post. I try to click on at least 2 or more every time I sign on to this forum.<p>

I didn't think that I was telling Chuck how to run this forum. I was complaining about the fact that one of his advertisers is only in the business of ripping people off in my opinion. And being a member of this forum, even though it does not cost me, I am still member, and I voiced my opinion on what I think is an objectable business that is advertising here.<p>I appriciate what Chuck does here just as much as the next person and I have learned a lot from a some of the people that have posted on this forum. And I apoligize to Chuck about the remark about not recommending this forum. That statement was out of line. I am sorry. But I still strongly object to the Physic Network ad. I just about consider them in the same catagory as a child molester, and I wouldn't turn my back on that either like some suggested. I'd report it.<p>And to some of you others, don't like what I post , don't read it. Listen to you Physic. :)<p>Jim

Jim, <br>Don't take this wrong but a PHYSIC is something to help you crap. A PSYCHIC is someone who knows when you have to.:)<br>
