Like many other endeavors, if someone hasn't actually tried doing it, they
have no idea whatsoever what it takes.

Put up a PayPal donation link. In the past year I have made more donations
and paid for more "free" software than I paid for shrink-wrapped big-name
stuff.

A free web site can cost several hundred dollars a year to run and
maintain
including Provider Costs, Search Engine, Link Checker, Domain Name costs,
Computer Maintenance, necessary software, anti-virus, spyware, firewalls,
etc. To say nothing of the many hours these folks put in for our free use.

How in the world can anyone complain about it??

I did the paypal thing -- very little return

So instead I have 3 Affiliate sites -- Amazon etc.

Works much better and pays for about half my costs for a Megasite and I
somewhat feel I earned it.

But anyway thanks for the reply.

These days there is a wealth of free info on the internet -- some bad --
most good and I applaud all who do -- a real service to the Ham community as
well as many other interests.
