First off, I understand that you might need to make decisions without getting everyone's input, but you did say "consensus" of which there definitely was not one... I don't mean to be argumentative, but I don't understand what is so difficult in telling businesses that are whining about not being on the list "The organizing committee felt that your site doesn't have anything unique to offer the entrants of the contest". Period. James, have you ever thought of running for public office? :-) No, I'm not "violently opposed" to removing the commercial links, but they were definitely a nice resource to have on there. And by my count, there were just as many people that voiced an opinion to keep them as voiced an opinion to remove them. If you still feel that they need to be remove, then, hey, you and Erik are definitely the movers and shakers of this little group, but could you explain it again? I still don't understand exactly why it has to be all or nothing... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Engle Jacksonville, NC ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe aga-contest" in the body of the message.
