GG, I have always respected you and listened carefully to what you say. Your LL is one of the best and it is always an honor to be listed. I do have to respectfully disagree with you about the free hosting for BetaBrigade. Sarma happens to be one of the newer members who doesn't yet have the resources to pay for his own hosting. The guys at BetaBrigade believed in him enough to assist him. That isn't a free host - his pages have nothing on there but what he himself has placed. It won't lead the surfer to some unknown place, and it won't disappear next week or next month because somebody got tired of hosting all those sites for free.

Rather, a band of very experienced webmasters got together and have taken newbies (and some crusty oldies) under their wing and are trying to teach them to build sites that you (and other LL owners) would like to list. Yeah, sure.. some of these guys are using sponsor content for now, and don't pay directly for their hosting, but how else do you learn? And.. not all of the BB is using the assisted option or sponsor content totally.. I have been paying for my hosting for 2 years now, and own a good amount of my own content.

Y'all can be a tough bunch to please...
