I don't think we should publicize Fusebox.com at all.
Why should we? That's a bad idea. Even though it is
not the case, putting a big link to Fusebox.com on
top of Fusebox.org is saying
Fusebox.com - the experts in CF development and Fusebox
methodology.
It's a horrible idea. Please don't do this, at least
until I buy stock in Fusebox.com.
