Hi, Gene - I maintain the FAQ (frequently asked questions) and help out with technical problems, but I'm a volunteer. The FAQ is the first thread on the Forum Menu - you can check there for the "benefits of membership." We don't charge for membership, and nobody gets commercial benefit from Mudcat. We do this for fun, thanks to the generosity of Max, our Webmaster.
He does use this site as a testing ground for ideas he has - and then he uses them on Websites he designs for various companies. He also pays a mean guitar.
