i don't want to promote them, unless they were to contribute to
fusebox.org. Or at the very least... participate in the discussions,
then i wouldn't think twice about it.
For example.... if ANY of you asked me for a link to your site or a
banner link or button link on Fusebox.org, i'd put it up in a heartbeat
(for free), as long as it has "some" connection to Fusebox.org, it works
for me.
You may wonder... why AREN't there many banner links on Fusebox.org?
No one has asked for one. ;-)
