Conservatives scream that the papers are run by liberals, and the liberals scream that talk radio is run by conservatives and yet each person considers themselves objective. "Something's gotta give", Natasha! Anyways, I've subscribed to that philosophy before and it does seem to set up a feeling of goodwill. My angle on this is either you're gonna get it, or SBI is gonna get it. And SBI will live without it. But please don't take this as an attempt to convert you.

I can see where not doing it your way could lead to the debasement of forums by people posting en masse about how much they love something just for the exposure...you've got me thinking.

Do you ever think to keep them in the fold by expanding into areas like extensions or other things. "SO, YA OUTGROWN YA DREDS HAVE YA? HERE'S THE NEXT STEP..."
Very interested in how individuals deal with their unique business challenges...
