Ed, I shouldn't got started. I just took exception to McGrath's comments particularly as I always try to invite suggestions, and to date have managed to implement changes promptly.

There is a common misconception about money and web sites. You can pretty good functionality for very little outlay and as we are both aware, some of the best software is free - although that can of course mean re-programming, people learning new skills, etc. not a task that is always easy or indeed practical to undertake.

Some problems will never go away. Mudcat does get a huge ammount of trafic (would love to know what the bandwith usage is) and also runs on it's own servers - I think an excellent option considering the control it gives. These things do cost money (and Mudcat is pretty powerful I think...) and I certainly do not begrudge trying to contribute a little myself on the odd occasions when I can.

"Preview with HTML and all", explain a little more - you mean sort of like a "veiw source"? I think I could do it simply by using a "Text Area" box on a form but I doubt if many would use it.
