I am suggesting rather than the first response being something that points potential clients away from our advertisers that posters instead suggest the "I need" forum.

Talk of The Villages has exhibited that you actually can talk about everything and anything, including your statement that you know people who work who can't afford to advertise. You, and those who can't afford to advertise, should not expect it to be mandatory that Talk of The Villages offer them free exposure. If posters recommend them in answers, then so be it, but it would be nice for our members to recommend using our advertising. That is what supports this.

If you were an advertiser here would you want to see the first response pointing people away from seeing your ad? I think not. If they see enough of that, they leave, taking their support with them.
