What if someone asks where to get something.

We were discussing some of the finer vehicle crash protection decals and often the question arises: Where can I get one of those?

Logically speaking (if you can believe that!!),
posting specifically for solicitation for purchase is different then offering advice in the middle of a thread as to availability of a product related to the subject of the thread.

I tink. But, I'm not JimRob. :-)

What say you Jim?

I believe everyone on FR could ask a question to only be answered on private FR email only.......

Not on a FR Reply Post to be seen by all unsolicitated.......

Obviously there are many free Web Image and Audio storage sites and free HTML Help WebSites that benefit all on FR but do do solicite business ads for profit........

I know that I myself have benefitted from some of those free Web Storage services after I had trouble with two that would not post and securely keep my posted images in view of all that read the threads........

Such as Tripod stored images can disappear and leave an annoying "RED-X BOX" where you posted your image, yet Angelfire stored images work just "peachy", don't they Slick?

(sorry, I just could not help myself)

I also found by using free URL "downsizers" like TinyURL.Com helps with many Audio URLs that seem hard to get to work from several FreeSource WebSites; after using them, I seem to have a quicker, shorter, bulletproof Audio URL.

One example I just made up:

http://tinyurl.com/gxff

(You may have heard it before)

This FR "Post Page":

http://tinyurl.com/gxig

Purty ol' "peachy"!

It works wonders on those BellLabs "Text-to-Speech" page long URLs -

Cuts all URLs down to just 23 characters, even from 500 characters down to 23........

BONUS:

You only need to remember the last 4 characters and/or note them in your notebooks or WebPage storage with the .jpg, .gif or .mid, .wav, .au File Name

Gotta ride:

http://tinyurl.com/gxjc

(Was 51 characters, now is only 23!)
