Look at this ASS

Right. I just know I'm going to upset some of the 'old guard', but hey! Perhaps a fresh bit of blood will do some good

RSH ISN'T FREE HOSTING. I know because it costs me every time I make sale! If it was free hosting I would be laughing, except most of my sponsor links would belong to somebody else! So let's get free hosting and revenue sharing apart for a start

Even as a newbie I know a bit about what has been going on over the last 15-18 months. I have taken the time to watch, listen and learn from most of the big guns. I've seen what has been happening with a virtual leaning towards a cartel amongst the bigger LLs

If that's not what you want to hear, or want others to hear, I'm sorry. But it's a fact. Yes. You have a position of strength. Yes. You can dictate to some extent how people can come to you with their offerings. Yes. You can say that black is white, and have many believe

I understand that this business is going through a big change, but take care that you don't try to corner it for yourselves alone. Alienating a million webmasters isn't going to make it better. It will simply 'sanitise' your corner. Everyone else will find refuge elsewhere - perhaps suspect or illegal places. Do we want that?

Yes. We know there's a load of crap out there. Yes. We want 'quality' stuff. But it's a fact that a dozen 'old hands' are not going to become a star chamber and survive. A million small WMs will not put up with it in the long run

So telling a newbie that they can't have sites hosted on RSH, for example, isn't going to make it better for you; It will make it worse for us all

Sorry all, I get steamed because I see so many mountains before me. And I haven't even started to climb
