I would be interested, BUT:

I am concerned that trolls would get wind of this and try to either participate in it or trash us.

I kind of like the anonymity of this forum.

That was the only real drawback I came up with too.

If the ad was a link to your FReepmail though, you could check the FReeper profile to see how long they have been with FR, posting history, etc.

That would weed out all but the most persistent of trolls.

And I wasn’t thinking business owners would post an ad with the name and address of their business, but rather - type of business and state.

For example:

Mechanic - South Carolina.

I would click the link and it would take me to the FReepmail page where I could ask for details on location and make an appointment.

Points well made.

I hope JR sticks to his principles!
