Blaine, if people are confused it's because you've posted many times previously about how you're getting out of the business soon - you can't expect members here to be mindreaders and they have no way of knowing you've changed your mind? You have done nothing but moan and complain about clients, expenses and everything else to the point where many of us find it hard to understand why you would put yourself through the stress; if it was the first time we'd heard it rather than the hundredth it might be different but it's the same thing over and over again and has been for as long as any of us can remember.
Businesses have costs. You can't expect to run a business dealing in luxury services (as in things people want rather than need) and do it for free - I know ads don't come cheap in the States but a lot of other things do compared with here, and yet we don't constantly bang on about the price of hotels, travel, photographs and so on because they're all necessities depending on how you work.
Apart from that, if you're now saying it all pays for itself and everything's hunkydory anyway, what exactly was the point of starting this thread? And what reason would there be to not just lock it now, since apparently the problem has solved itself?
