That is because only one other retailer has sent me some text to use, which I was happy to put next to the link (without charge). Like I said before, they need only ask. If someone else wants to take over the maintenance of the links list, feel free to email me. I haven't updated it much in years and it could probably do with an overhaul from someone with enough time to visit all the sites and add new ones.

Chockstone has one sponsor. I've had a few offers for more from companies that wouldn't conflict in each others interests, but as I stated years ago when this thing was started, I'd rather not have any ads at all. If I really wanted too I could plaster ads all over every page of the site and probably make, like, $300 a year out of it. Call me old fashioned, but I'd rather have the pages I wrote uncluttered. RH, pays my work (Bendigo IT) a site hosting fee per month. I've been covering the domain name registration fees out of my own pocket. And of course, my time is freely given.

I personally hate SPAM with a passion, but can see where people are coming from with their comments about wanting unbaised opinions. I'm just glad Neil is handling the sorting out of the choss from the jugs in that regard and not me.
