"Central" would probaby be better. The mccmedia page could be the main page, and any extra content list members migtht want to create would link off from there. Maybe the pages could even have a consistent look and a common navigation bar, making them all look like they belong to the same page. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I meant "official" source of info, but Steve's definition works as well. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > 4.

A lawsuit to force me to kill that site? I don't think that's what he meant. The best "other option" would be putting together an alternative site offering most of the things your site once offered. BTW, I really wish people would quit assuming the worst of others on the list. This is just one example. William comparing Jeroen to a domain squatter is another. At least give people some time to stick a knife in your back before you start worrying about their motives. ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm no longer receiving mail from Jeroen so I didn't and won't see this or any future reply from him. Suffice it to say that my post was not a threat. Any assumption or speculation made by anyone to the contrary should be classified under 'paranoia' and ignored. :-) Jon "Losers assemble in little groups to share their misery and bitch about the coaches and the guys in other little groups."
