Ta for that. Like Colin has just said, "Any medium is degraded by the
bankruptcy of its creators. How do you expect people to maintain sites?"
I added AdSense last year because it helped in covering the hosting costs.
It also can make sites look more professional >in many cases<, putting
aside sites that are highly artistic, in which case AdSense becomes a
misfit.
I find it very disturbing that at the end of the day, money buys voice.
Voice gets money so there is a cycle here, which is difficult to break.
Speaking of which, an item < http://tinyurl.com/89d8w > that was
Slashdotted hours ago backs that very same point.
On top of that, add the 'duplicatability' of software, which gives even
/more/ momentum to Windows. Even giants like Walmart have no such
advantage.
