Something New

You will probably have noticed an addition to our site - advertising. While many will deplore the crass commercialism of ads, it is a necessary fact of life that dollars are required to continue to deliver this service (and to expand it). Because of your patronage, we have now been recognized by many advertisers as a website that they wish to be associated with.

So, what does this mean, from your point of view? Well, you will see ads when you enter different sections of the site - some of them you may wish to visit, others not (that is entirely up to you). You will not see the site slowing down - we were very careful to choose a service that will not cause problems with access. You will not see ads that are inappropriate - we retain full rights to refuse ads from companies and/or services that we feel are not in keeping with our philosophy and goals (if you ever disagree with our choice of client, please let us know).

These ads will also allow us to extend and expand our coverage, bringing you more on-the-spot information, results, news and services. All in all, we are very pleased to have been selected by a number of large corporate clients, we hope you will understand and accept the necessity for this move.
