Omaha Steve had permission from CCD to post what he posted. merrily Aug 2015 #109

The OP opened the door to the informational post. If you give permission prayin4rain Aug 2015 #111

False. The post got hidden because it violates TOS. Posting to ask for money for a DUer merrily Aug 2015 #113

Point is, in light of the circumstances (asking for money) prayin4rain Aug 2015 #114
