Some folks feel that they do not support this site in order to provide a free advertising platform for bloggers to exploit.
True, I won't contest that point. But do we know that the bloggers don't also support the site?
If you look at my profile you can see that I am a licensed real estate broker. If someone decides to FReepmail me and discuss doing business, was I guilty of using free advertising? To ease my guilt if that happens, I pledge to donate 10% of my earnings from any transaction received through Free Republic.
My only point is that we can choose to click or not to click, but I don't fault you for bringing it to the attention of the bloggers. Maybe they'll become donors!
