Well, how about we try this for a couple of days, then see how much revenue it gives, then decide whether we get a hosting service... if after a week, we get 10cents.. then forget it, if we get 10$, then cool, let's do it... + SF will never notice if we do it for a short period.. and we're not 'using their services to generate revenue', but instead, we try to generate a revenue in order to get out of their service.. not the same thing..
what do you think ? or is it better to do it your way, pay for it then see what happens ? KaKaroTo On Tue, Oct 03, 2006 at 07:32:05PM +0200, Philippe Valembois - Phil wrote: > Hi, > sorry....
