(no offense)I wasn't aware that you spent any time maintaining the Forums?If the moneys that you're speaking about came solely from your efforts of sales/marketing and agreements, than just say my concerns are invalid, and no worries.edit: I am NOT saying I know what your job was - I'm just asking you what it entailed. Please nobody keel-haul me for daring to ask what the Wizard actually did behind the curtain.</blockquote>
