Maybe you should stick your wallet into the conversation instead of your opinion?

Free stuff is what it is.
Free stuff.

Some take value in aquioring something for no cost - regardless of the value of that item.

Others find fault with the item and disregard it as not worth it.

If it is free - how can it not be worth it? Even a bad "Gift horse" can be made into Glue

( sorry to all the horse lovers our there but it fit the analogy here)

I prefer flour and water... thanks :P

That gift horse has a few extra hairs that might be used for a paint brush though.

You guys be nice, now. We all get miffed about things once in a while.

Lord knows I've put my foot in my mouth a few times...


...besides, maybe Christ's idea about putting our money where our mouth is can be put to good use. To help support the site, I'd put up a buck for a chance at a t-shirt any time! <possible hint...>
