I have got enough :-) There is no such thing as a free lunch and it is the penalty of using a free server. Originally the adverts were relatively unobtrusive, but then they decided on a permanent stripe on the side. The justification for this is that the adverts would be linked to google generated adverts that would be relevant to the site. Indeed that promise was kept. If I remember rightly another justification for permanent adverts was that there would be no need for pop-ups, but I see that this is now being broken. Thanks to the offer of space, also to Tony Firshman, but I have been thinking of moving elsewhere for some time. However, I want to do this with a restructuring of the site, dare I say it, to make it easier for PC users! I quite frequently get requests for word lists from students and academics and would like to make their searches to find me easier. Also the nature of Just Words is changing, with more emphasis on freeware than commercial products and thus more products for downloading. Thus a major change, which needs a lot of thinking and preparation. It is not going to happen this year, because of other commitments so for the moment I shall decline your kind offers. (The moral of this story is never to open your big mouth to complain about the QL2004 scene going quiet as I did at the beginning of the year.)
