Sure, Charlie...no problem. I've said about all I have to say anyway. I don't subscribe to CF-Community...I have a hard enough time getting through all the email I get now.
I'm just concerned about Mike...I suspect, based on his comments to the list now and in the past, that he doesn't like bringing up stuff like this and discussing. I just thought I'd carry his banner for awhile. I've received great benefit from the list and would like to see Mike (and others, if you've got a donate button let me know!) benefit, too. I would have that he's suffering financially to help me prosper... Some good ideas have been discussed...so I'll shut up now. Just don't forget, everyone, to *voluntarily* donate!

Rick...couple of points 1) can we move this to cf-community? 2) did Mike even say he is considering charging for the list? You seem to be fighting for something that the list owner isn't even considering implementing. 3) can we move this to cf-community?
