Marque,
Firstly I want to thank you for bringing this to my attention. I for one am very glad that there are people like you that spread the word when something like this presents itself. It makes me very angry that folks cant go on the web without being hammered by web herpes like Coolweb search and Gator. Have no worries as far as bravenet they are the host for my free hit counter, I am going to remove my bravenet hit counter and use the crappy one from tripod as I dont want any unknown cookies scaring people. It is the whole Gator thing that worries me. Is the Gator prompt coming from a pop up or from my page? I wrote a second email to tripod and as soon as I can get the funds together I am most certainly going to get a domain name and get my stuff off of Tripod. It may seem rediculous that I cannot afford 10 dollars for a domain name at this point in time, but as I have already explained I am on a fixed income and every penny is accounted for in my budget. My next income will be about Dec 3rd and at that point I will be getting a domain and hosting. I'll go without poptarts and coffee this month :-)
What concerns me the most is that I have been putting the free stuff up as a way to thank folks like you that have been so great...
