Since the person that sent this message did not give me their email address so I could answer their question, I'd like to answer it here. Here is the message that I got through the feedback form tonight...

<<The answer to you question, the advertising is on the search engine results pages only. In order for this site to utilize the FREE search engine feature, courtesy of whatuseek.com, they must be allowed to show ONE banner at the top of each 'results' page. Fact is, in the website business, there are two things that are as true as death and taxes are in the real world. NOTHING is free, and bills are paid through banner advertising. In this case, whatuseek.com's offers a great service (the search engine) for the price of ONE banner per page.

That answer was from DJ, the webmaster.

Please forgive me for being very aggrivated by your anonymous message, and taking it personally, but the fact that you even saw their advertising tells me that you at least thought the search feature would be helpful enough to at least try it out.

That answer was from DJ, the cluster headache sufferer that......I'll stop here. Those of you that have been around a while can probably figure out what I want to say, but will refrain from for now.

So please let me ask all of you this. Have you tried the search feature? And if you have, do you feel that it is helpful enough to deal with one advertising banner from whatuseek.com per page? If the majority of the sufferers on this site don't like the advertising enough for me to remove the search enginge feature, I will remove it immediately. After all, this site is here to serve YOU!
