Not wishing to rain on parades, nor criticise a worthy idea - but how exactly is that "free"?

Surely "dirt cheap"?

Realised after I had posted it - too late to change the title. However, the service I am providing is Free as I am making no profit from it.

Hmm - that's not really what "free" means. I think if that can be seen as an offer - which I think it can, rather than an invitation to treat - the reasonable man would reasonably interpret "free" as "free of charge to him" not "free of profit to supplier".

"Not for profit" would be neater - and less troublesome. Really, I'm not rubbishing the idea at all, it's a good one. But I think it would be dangerous for you - and this site - to advertise things as free when they aren't.

Im very Sorry Jim - I already told you it was a mistake and that I didnt mean to post it, and that I can't change the title. I did not mean to defraud anyone. I do think people will understand what I mean once they read the thread though, but otherwise please forgive me.

What I am offering is what I am offering, and I'm certainly not interested in getting into a debate on contract law. As I have no intention to create legal relations and am not of sound mind, I cannot enter a valid contract anyway.

If anybody is actually interested in this free service that is purely and genuinely intended only to help people, please feel free to e-mail me.

Oh Murphers, really.

I was only trying to help (OK, that sounds a bit pathetic).

I'll shut up.
