Will BM be functional once the old SI is shut down? I bought the activation key for SI BM and will be screwed if this happens...

Catlady, just read the SI broadcast message about coming changes. Looks like our #1 request -- to increase the number of messages retrieved at one time -- was ignored. Is that your reading as well?

I agree. I never thought they would make that particular change anyone. They surely plan on eventually bombarding us with banner ads, and if you only allow someone to download 10 messages at a time then you can show them up to 10 times as many ads then if you let them download up to 100 at a time.

Oh, well. I guess I'll look at the bright side. I'll have several more hours free each week once this site ditches me by disabling BM.

I still think we're on the 'to-do' list, but, we've just seen that we're lower on the priority list than streaming audio gee-gaws. I guess SI would rather add 'me-too' streaming audio like so many other sites than replace & enhance the usability features that helped make SI unique.
