Join the club. No one can reply to ads. It was set up that way a couple of month ago to keep the ads from getting bumped with every new reply. Send the poster a PM or email by clicking on their name.
Posting an item wanted in the "question and suggestions to the editor" section will not help, only a few people look there. This site belongs to the owners and they make the rules. Post your ad in the right place and watch the PM roll in! Maybe!
