I think you have h9it the nail on the head the market is over saturated
and dominated by the bigger players. I contacted all chambers of commerce
and asked them tyo provide their members with accress to the ba2z site so
they could register for free.... oh no cant do that! There is a lot of
money to be earned so with the smaller idiot sites out there (ba2z
included) it just increases market value (falsely of course) for the yell
and thompson tits.
