And if you really want to talk about the /. affect i can definitely describe that in pretty good detail, LOL. And honestly i dont get it...rather than paying for and improving infrastructure for stability and good load balancing they focus on things that dont necessarily improve their environment, but rather increase the bottom line. Now, not that that is a bad model for a business, but when folks are paying for 'services' and you cant provide them with a lot of reliability, you will begin to loose your paying userbase and HURT your bottom line in the long-term. </rant> Michael (of TeamDotOne) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nothing says I love you like flowers! *Find a florist near you now <http://yellowpages.aol.com/search?query=florist&ncid=emlcntusyelp00000002>*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ____________________________________________________________ Az-Geocaching mailing list listserv@azgeocaching.com To edit your setting, subscribe or unsubscribe visit: http://listserv.azgeocaching.com/mailman/listinfo/az-geocaching Arizona's Geocaching Resource http://www.azgeocaching.com____________________________________________________________ Az-Geocaching mailing list listserv@azgeocaching.com To edit your setting, subscribe or unsubscribe visit: http://listserv.azgeocaching.com/mailman/listinfo/az-geocaching Arizona's Geocaching Resource http://www.azgeocaching.com
