Hey Markus. :) That's my point, exactly. Not that there isn't any hope for something random to go viral or be seen as something worth funding... but rather that it's an anomaly. To speak about these things as if they're "regular" or as if they're definitely going to happen at some point I think does a disservice to the community. I keep seeing these posts that imply that everyone's going to get a piece of the pie, eventually... but even in the case of YouTube, it wasn't EVERYBODY that landed "partnership program" deals. -- billcammack http://reelsolid.tv
