I was a member of freerepublic long ago. I log in after about a year's hiatus and I get the "banned: reason troll". I don't know why that was, but I forgave the mods. So I re-registered.

If you read my website and its sources, you will see how inappopriate it would be to not include it with this topic. Also, I gain nothing monetary from visitors to my site. It is tripod after all.

I wasn't saying that you should be banned. I was just noting that you seem to choose topics to post threads on or respond to that give you an opportunity to hype your website. Maybe you don't make money from it, but you clearly want the hits.

What you seem to be doing isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's sort of like advertising, isn't it? And isn't advertising something one usually pays for?

Best regards...
