There's at least two problems with that approach:
1. Who am I to be sure that there *isn't* any free solution
available? There might be, but I could just not be aware
of it.
If I post a question for a freeware-solution here, and there was no
responses, I would simply draw the conclusion that there is no freeware
solution to it, at least not known in the group.
2. If the poster *really* is open for other solutions, the
most natural act would then be to look for non-freeware
solutions in non-freeware places. It could rather *offend*
the poster to suggest non-freeware in a freeware group.
At least I wouldn't expect to be suggested non-freeware solutions in
alt.comp.freeware.
Though it's a freeware group, I had 2 more cents to give... ;-)
