Thank you Judy for your marketing advice!

I am sorry I caused such an uproar...geez. I never in my wildest dreams thought the reaction would be as it was. Just to clarify: I never said that Judy shouldn't advertise, nor did I say that she shouldn't have a side business; I am sure a lot of us do. What I did comment on was the post that just "appeared" to be plugging the business and I questioned if they were genuine. I have been corrected, thank you.

I really didn't care enough that it was advertising vs. genuine posts really so perhaps I shouldn't have commented at all (I truly did not see the responses being so strong to my comment I was just pointing out something). I had no intentions of "creating a hornets nest" nor making people feel uncomfortable. I think this forum is fantastic, I do not wish to make people feel like they can't safely post something. This is probably the first time I had posted something of this nature. Read my other posts, I try to be helpful and seek help often.

I also said Judy's post may have been removed because daycare bear may not have liked her free advertisements. I did not place any value on this (e.g. people should or should not do this) I was merely answering the posters question about where her post had gone and had it been removed.
