Lorraine, thank you for being open minded and level headed about this particular thread. I had read posts this morning and was telling myself I would not respond to this thread again. I decided on one last post to try to get it across that I was responding ONLY to the opening of this thread. I am wondering how profitable this site will be once the major artists have left.... Many that I have are people in the technology fields and operate from behind Firewalls and spam filtering programs. Whatever database is sold, it will most likely only be a nuisence to some of them, if any marketing spam gets through to them at all. For me, there is always the delete button and spam software, and closely guarding what personal information I give out over the Internet. Liz Pope Dreamspinner Inc.
