Fair call- I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why someone would start a site with near identical functionality to ours and a heap of our unique content. Thanks for the advice though everyone- seems the consensus is not to publicly discuss the matter. On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at

I for one have no interest in having you two discuss commercial issues relevant only to the two of you on this list. Bart's right: this isn't the forum. Take it off list, and given there's apparently a bee in your bonnet, perhaps give Bart a call and talk about it in person, Jeebus. A hit job l
