zx, I hope you did get the invitation to join the Yahoo club. If anyone who has requested but has not received the invitation by email, please let me know. You know, I wonder why anyone would bother setting up a fee based private site. I mean there's a lot of work and cost for maintaining the site, collecting the monthly fees, and the burden to serve the members. Do like I do, let Yahoo foots the bill for the infrastructure and site maintenance. Members pay nothing. Yahoo gets revenue from advertising, and the founder of the club gets paid 3 cents per page view. It's win win deal for everyone. I figure with 100 members, each reading 100 posts a day, that's 10,000 pageviews. I get paid 0.03*10,000 = $300 a day. Now since Paul A brought up the subject last week, he's getting a cut from me, 75 cents a day for Paul. Regards, Tom
