Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

1. You have ads for [fill in the name the company, product, service or group]. They are evil and are destroying America! Why do you let them advertise on your website???
   A. I don't. Or to put it another way, I have no way of knowing who will be advertising until the ads actually appear. With very few exceptions, the banner ads are supplied by an outside company (their name appears in the banner "Ads by ...") I have NO advance control over what appears in these ads. It is completely controlled by the outside company. If you see an inappropriate or offensive ad - don't get mad at me; just email me and be sure to give me the name of the advertiser in the ad and their url. Then I can go back to the outside ad company and have the advertiser banned!

2. Q. I wrote to you, but never heard back. Do you answer your email?
   A. I reply to every single email I receive. Unfortunately, about 10% of the people who write to me either don't know their own email address or type it incorrectly. About one in 1 in 10 are returned to me "no such address or account". Some have spam-blocker services that block any response I send. Others have spam controls that require the sender to fill out a form, just to reply.
3. Q. Sometimes when I print a page, the words are cut off on the right side. How can I print it so it all comes out correctly?
   A. After you click File-Print or Ctrl-P, but before you hit the "print" button, click on "properties" and change the orientation to "Landscape".
   Wherever a page has a "PDF print version", click that link for a better quality print!
   I've been converting all of the pages to a newer technology (CSS / stylesheets) that will fix that and remove unnecessary things like ads, so most pages should print well now.
4. Q. Why can't you make these changes sooner?
   A. I actually make 99% of changes within 24 hours. I'm trying to keep this free for everyone. I don't charge either farmers or consumers (or anyone else). In order to keep it free, I do 100% of all the work myself, in my "spare" time, so it takes me a bit longer (the baby needs some time, too! :). Keeping this resource free for all has been a priority of mine, along with ease of use and accuracy of the information!
5. Note: If you use a "allowed-sender request" spam-control service I cannot reply to you. They always perceive responses as spam and will not allow my email through to you; plus there just isn't time, with the volume of emails I answer. If you want a response, please use an email account that does not require me to fill out a form to be approved. NOTE about ads: If you see any offensive political ads; email me the url on them so I can block them. See this note about ads. Also, I do not release your email address to anyone.
