I'm wondering if maybe they are actively looking for inexperienced shoppers who they think may act more like regular customers who are giving their opinions rather than pros (as counterintuitive as that may be) That's just my theory btw - no hard facts to back it up!

Well I don't know any MS'ing company who have as many problems as RE. Ridiculous scenarios ie pharmacies, software that is forever not working, poor fees.

I have said before IMHO they are the Woolworth's of the MS'ing world and I would love to see them go the way of Woolies. Maybe then the fees would go up with other companies.

Totally agree with you HP

More to do with the fact 26th is a Friday so Saturday down under (so a non working/banking day) I'd think.

I don't think you thought that statement through before pressing "submit"....

Had me in stitches anyway, so thanks! :rotfl::rotfl::T:beer:

Total jobs 117 - can see a fuirty one if I search up to 50 miles away.
Guess it depends on where you are in the country but can't understand why you have 16 less jobs on there.

Me too Monkeyboy .. I had to read it a couple of times to make sure I'd read it right!! Does that mean that the 26th is on a Thursday in America? :rotfl::rotfl:

You credit RE with too much intelligence

The bottom line is their IT system\web-site is cr*p.

It's too complex with all the filters that can be applied by their staff.
It also doesn't work even if the filters are applied properly.

If you can't see jobs then ring them up.

BTW
The points mean bu%%er all
