9. Do not post advertisements. Commercial postings have to be paid for if circulated via Goanet. The Goanet Admin's decisions on all matters are final.

Dear Herman,
Firstly a big "Thank You" for the great job you and the Admin Team are doing in running GoaNet. Do keep up the good work.
Thanks for the reminder about the rules and Guidelines for posting at GoaNet. Regarding Rule #9 above. I would like to post some 'commercial' posts on GoaNet to advertise my wife's Flowers-By-E-mail business (EXPRESSIONS). I am willing to pay the charges as set by you. Please advise me on the rates and how to proceed in posting, and paying, for these 'commercial' postings.
Cecil

Dear Cecil,
What say we revert to the well-tried out system that so effectively served the villages through
agest: barter of trades, service and produce.
All during our infancy and onwards (until post-lib) I fondly remember the barber, dhobi, harvest-labourers, coconut pluckers and sundry service-providers paid for with rice, coconuts, palm-leaves and so on.
While the barber received a kudov (2 pailis) of unhusked rice for his round the year unlimited tending of hair of all males in the household (posc�s incl, servants not), the dhobi was paid the same ammount of rice but husked.
Each harvester-woman took home as big a "boro" of rice as she could carry on her head. Not the batkar, nor his supervising agent dealt it out but a senior "man'nai" thus ensuring impartiality; moreover, the ears of rice bestowed upon them were made up from the choicest part of the field under harvest.
The males were paid in treshed rice, at ammounts I think fixed annually.
And so on.
Where does this lead up to?
Try and work out a deal with Mssrs Herman, Frederick, Gilbert and the rest of the admin supremos whereby they carry EXPRESSIONS' ads and Bea pledges to provide bouquets, garlands, wreaths as joyfull and sorrowfull circumstances may arise.
What chaps like I could offer to trade I'll revert in a while. Attaboy, haw about it?
Alfred
