BUT I do agree with ijusluvit that it is really hard to find the vendors. First I scan all of the ads along the side and across the top and then I am helpless as to where to go to see a complete list of vendors. It would be nice if there was a category called TOTV VENDORS where all of the sponsors were listed by what service provide in alphabetic order so we could have a single place to look for the vendor type we are looking for.

I was looking for a carpet replacement vendor the other day and could not find one. I posted for help on TOTV but did not receive any responses. I am now at the mercy of the ads in the Daily Sun and have created a cost spreadsheet of area nd their costs and now have to visit all of the ones I selected to see if they can do the job.

When I started this thread I did so kind of tongue in cheek. All the ads between replies and posts is annoying to me. But like zcaveman, I often use these ads to search for responsible vendors.
