It's frustration that society is so narrowly conditioned at times. I get this PM:

Hi Dave

I think I have stumbled onto registering on this site accidently. What happenned was I Googled Labour Department South Africa and chose Compensation Commissioner - returns because I need to fill in a form which they must have by 30th March 2009. I honestly thought I was registering on line with the Labour Department/Workmens Commissioner. So please de-register me from this site and I do not expect to receive an account from you.

First of all, it wasn't an accident. I know exactly how painful it is to find the current Return of Earnings form - that's why I posted it here - to make it easier for other people. But that's not what gets me.

It's the account bit. Where does that come from?
Is a free business website really that unusual?

[twinscythe12332]

I'd think most people would expect to pay for this kind of info. maybe a small addition of "THIS IS A FREE FORUM" to the registration page?

[garthu]

AHA - the lights come on for me! Seriously though Dave i think it has become the norm for people to accept that NOTHING is for free, especially a great forum enviro like this..

[Debbiedle]

LOL! Don't worry we know! And we really LIKE the fact that we can abuse your knowledge like this I think it is tough for some to believe all this can be free and so well controlled.

LOL, well as much as I'd like to buy you the beer instead of paying registration fees, I think my pointless comments (with pictures) are a real gem to the community so i deserve my free account here

In any case the information found on this forum is certainly worth a good deal to a lot of people. Thanks to the brains who contribute to the forum on a regular basis .

Exactly

Or maybe that should be exactly



Thanks for getting it, everyone. And thanks for all the value you add to the site. The least I can do is not charge you for it
