On that DirectMatches, well I just joined that site yesterday and placed a couple of ads. I had to make up a profile before I could place any classified ads. Then I received many people sending me kind notes and so I did reply to a few by their email system. Then they tell me that as a free member, I would have to upgrade before I am able to respond to anyone else's emails there. Meanwhile, I keep receiving notes from members there wanting to talk and so I can't even answer them without upgrading (which I do not plan on doing).
