<<<Well, this sounds like a double blackmail situation because BrowseMaster is not authorized or approved by SI/Go2Net to be doing what they are doing... but what can we do. >>>

Jeff, Thanks for replying to my message. The payment I was referring to was to SI, not BrowseMaster... as it is SI which maintains the servers, databases etc... It only shows how much I like the classic site over beta...

I am aware that SI/GNET did not embrace/allow BrowseMaster to be part of SI... My whole point was - The current SI site is excellent... Please do not convert it to one more typical message board. I was always afraid of this, when you decided to join GNET....

If I were you (ggg>, I would have partnered with BrowseMaster and made it part of SI/GNET on a cost/subscription basis...

I am sure you have read the BrowseMaster thread, the feedback is quite encouraging. Subject 26023

Thanks,
DB

You can copy all their good ideas thats what. Make them come up with even better ideas and then copy those.

Consider it the Microsoft way of doing business. Worked for Bill Gates.
