Ad-free. Spyware-free. In fact, it's all free. <g> (Cookies are served only

While I applaud your desire to help others I loath this self agrandising. This amounts to nothing more than a chance for some free advertising. While aumha.org is indeed an excellent site it is by no means the best. It misses many excellent and free programs that do a better job of blocking spyware than those offered for free on the site (just an example of where it falls short). Why not throw a plug in for www.dougknox.com or www.kellys-korner-xp.com and many other excellent sites. I suggest that you stick to helping in the future and pay the advertising agencies their fee to promote your stuff. Good luck.

Well, yeah. No disagreement there. (Except that "advertising" usually
applies where there is a product involved, money exchanged, etc., so let's
at least be clear that everything on the site is free.)

These are linked to off of my site - I refer people there all the time.

Good luck.

Thank you for your opinion. We disagree. Informing people of the
availability of information is an important part of making the information
available.
