None taken. I've been around before the old school was built... We have looked at this from time to time, and I have yet to find something that provides a DMCTalk-like interface that is easily moderated and provides the output flexibility that Yahoo Groups does. Especially at the same cost. Income from advertisers is nice to have, but it's not "free money". There are contracts, legal entities for accepting money, accountability, bill collecting, ad maintenance - its more work for the people running the show. More importantly, once you change over to that model, you are now dependant on continuing that income. What happens when an advertiser gets ticked off and stops sending the checks? The DML isn't pretty, and DMC News isn't gonna win any web design awards. But, they work. The information is there, the ability to add more is there, they are easily managed, and they are cheap enough that there aren't any worries about the lights going out. -- Mike -------------- Original message from "Kevin Abato" <delorean@xxxxxxxxx>: -------------- No offense Mike, but the format of the DML is indeed (as already stated) "old school".
