[if] they are to be combined it makes little sense to pay for membership to SI when they will have free access to it later by joining iHub. ... maybe Bob could supply some answers for us. - Edscharp, - I have read this thread since BobZ returned as Admin, and so far his replies on this thread to this query have been supplied by that same company that pre-packages canned answers used by politicians to "directly" respond to any question by any voter to any issue in a manner that the person asking the question receives the message that contains an outer wrapper of colorful smooth sounding audio images of a bottle of cold beer being opened that spurts out a gush of white bubbly foam that will condense into a few drops of liquid that you will soon realize was the total contents within :o) - A person(thing?) of name gotmilk did itemize the differences between Si & iHub after BobZ returned as Admin, and based on those simple cold hard facts remaining in place it would not be possible to join together Si & iHub. - A simple visual example will display the "problem." - But first imagine another time & place it could be done. --- two ½ people exist, Mr. Bob & Mr. Matt --- a complete Left ½ --- a complete Right ½ Here they can be joined successfully eventhought the ½ brain on Bob's side is bigger than Matt's, Matt has a bigger ½ head than Bob. ... Yes, that too :o) - ok, But now imagine the above --- two ½ people exist, Mrs. Susie & Mr. Matt --- a complete Left ½ --- a complete Right ½ Now eventhought the joining has only a few differences, they are BIG differences, like a peg in a round hole thing.
