But you can also become a paid member of Saabnet to get access to extra things like posting classifieds, etc. This is where the perspective and management philosophy of the site really come into question, but as we've said already there are plenty of alternative forum/bulletin-board sites and info sites like Saabscene, Saablink, Saabcentral and my site as well. So there is plenty of choice. Saabnet's just not up-front that it's commercially-oriented, but again that's the site admin's perogative to set it up that way. People become aware of the issues as they get blocked from posting. 8-) Regards, Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page --> http://nospam/~c900 Sydney, NSW Australia Craig's Saab C900 Workshop -- For all Saab C900 Enthusiasts world-wide! http://www.nospam.net http://www.nospam c900nospam.apana.org.au Come and explore our site, and check out our web-forums, mailing list, etc.
