I suppose it's another of these "only in America" things.

The enthusiasm and generosity of spirit that gets a site like that together in the first place is very characteristic of the USA Americans. (And the Mudcat is another example). And the cold-hearted legalistic avarice of the pennypinching moneygrubbers who closed it down like this is very characteristic as well.

Maybe you can't have one without the other. But it'd be great if you could.

I just hope someone is working on a way of getting over these barriers.
