Hm, so having a list of articles by people on FA doesn't apply here? Maybe its that people have to submit the articles to an editor first. Fancy that. I don't see anything in these sites that we're not doing here. The two things that I see here that make them a portal and us not is that they're larger and run by a company rather than 'people'. The fact that we have a CF Guru (if I may say so myself) as well as a professional editor on staff should be points in our favor. Either way, we're a portal to the CF world. We've always been one and always will be one. If some don't think of us as a portal, then it's all good for them. I'm not legislating how people think.
