Hi Greg and List, I think this is a good thing you are doing, I hope it takes off and becomes successful. If I wasn't too broke to pay attention, I'd pony up some cash for it. Instead, all I can offer is verbal support.
If there is anything I can do (website work, social networking promotion, etc), let me know.
