After 4 weeks in Tanzania (volunteering at an orphanage with my 13 year old son), I had just about 1,300 emails in my inbox! I thank you all in advance for your patience as I make my way through them all.

• First thing I tackled was to clean up the English Classifieds - taking off all the ads for work at home/ad entry/parrots/maltese dogs etc. Please note I do my best to take these off as fast as I can. And I ALWAYS ban the IP address of the user who posted the bogus ads.
