No, I don't like having to register with sites, to be honest. I guess I just have a negative gut reaction to taking frequencies that were previously accessable to all and turning them into pay-for-use services. It's a bit like selling a national park to Chevy and then roping it off so only Chevy truck owners can drive there -- for a price. If they get away with it with broadcast TV and radio, you can kiss your CB, FRS, and 802.11 frequencies goodbye, I bet. _ _ __ _ _ _| | | | David M.
