One of the biggest reasons was this. Many people would sign up and not read a damn thing.

These two types of posts are why we are where we are. Nobody on the staff wanted to do this. Many wanted more post count. The main thing is we wanted the FNG to at least take a look and follow the couple of simple rules we had.

Time and time again it was always "too much bother" for the "instant" generation and the one thing that always amused us older guys is how butt hurt they got after deleting there ads.

The OP is current or ex-Military. He of all people should know how this works. Ever been to CIF? ever been to SRP/SRC? After 30 years I know that it is the same now as it was back then because I see it everyday when I go to work. But we are faster than then.

Wait for 3 hours at CIF and be told that this is not right. "go to personnel and get them to change it and come back to get at the end of the line."

I know this is still so because I spent 2 hours at the orders section with one of my Sgt's trying to get the dizzy bitch to understand that she was wrong on Friday. 2 hours later we get a phone call for her to come back because yes, they had screwed up.

Just some thoughts.
