I think what he was getting at was if you're the one *POSTING* the 
BBS ad every couple of weeks, it's not gonna be seen by anyone.  
That "feature" aggravates me, too.  What I did to get around it 
was to have a "template" BBS ad that gets the current date 
auto-added to it by a script just before auto-posting, so the new 
ad does not appear to be a dupe (and gets seen).
