Keeping score? What type of calculator are you using? 120 postings 250 lbs a month…250 X 12= 3,000 lbs divided by 120 postings = 25 lbs per posting. 25 lbs equals $47.22 per posting.

Making an error and communicating something that is erroneous is one thing, to be off by a factor of 10 is something completely different.

So nice of someone with an IP address from Monster to “anonymously” post a reply. Oooh, tricky! The stockholders must be proud.

Guess I missed the text in the email that says this is for a 12 month commitment. Let me check again … nope, nothing about a 12 month commitment.

OK, is it a math error or do I have the wrong Monster sales rep? Somebody let me know. I’m either gonna re-up, or cancel. -Carl
