Ah! I'm sorry. And I did mean it exactly like free lunch, with the tone, too -- I'm glad you picked up on it (I realized later that it sounded gruff :).

A couple of points: 1) "no such thing as pro bono hosting": I assume you must mean that's it's something you can't accept. There is definitely such a thing, because we do it all the time. If you mean "no such thing as a free lunch," that's sort of true, and in this case we figure it serves our self-interest to keep the U.S. from crumbling. :) 2) If you look closely what I said was that we had considered it. It's not really practical because of the expected volume. The point I was trying to make, and must have made badly, is that we'll work to ensure that you get the best hosting deal, whether it's with Polycot or somebody else. If we host we don't want to plaster our name all over the site. Our interest is in making sure you have a site that works. best, Jon Jon Lebkowsky CEO/Catalyst, Polycot http://www.polycot.com
