Uh, I apologize to everyone who is NOT a member of the Totally Triumph Network
who received a copy of the letter distributed by me for the members of that
resource ONLY. Why Brad Richardson chose to redistribute that to other lists
is beyond me and not something that I am at all comfortable with or endorse.
He has since apologized and said that he doesn't know how it happened...
I would appreciate it if the discussion regarding this topic be remanded back
to the TTN where it belongs. Again, my apologies for the intrusion to this
list, NASS and wherever else it was inadvertnently distributed.

The free sites are fine if:
1) you don't mind the space and extra time to load the
banners that they put on your page.
2) You don't want a dedicated URL domain
("www.aol.com/rusticville/mainstreet/spitfires/index.html"
rather than "spitfires.com").
3) You have less than 10 megs of items to put on it
(that's under 60 640x480 images, 300 pages of html
text or any combination there-of). If you're hosting
archived messages (such as this email list, you'd use
up that 10 megs in about....oh...2 weeks.
4) You must have less than 500 megs of down-loaded
data per month. So, if you only have 5-10 people using
the page a day, then you're fine. (If you go over the
alotted amount, they turn-off the DNS pointer to your
site for the remainder of the month).
You can get rid of problems 1 & 2 and increase your
space and download alottment with a few deneiro
($10/mo. +), but that sort of defeats the "free site
possibility".
And if you want a further logistics of maintaining a
site I'm sure there are many who could chime in.
Running a host web site (and an email list for that
matter) is a lot different than sticking your family
vacation photos on a static web page.
Like a Triumph. The host pages need "stuff" to keep
them going. Mostly though....free time.
