EEEK! Okay, yeah, that's too much. Unfair, really. Poor Spaceman. So - would you like this stuff online in a message board instead of email? I am just this week doing the final testing of software that can allow text and graphical (multimedia) message content. As in - we could show pictures and videos if we wanted. It is fairly simple to operate but does not act as a web host for those images so basically, folks would be storing their material on their own web space, under their own control. If I didn't mention it, I own the web space so there are no ads or spam. One drawback of the software is that it requires registration of a usable email address which the system uses for validation. In my previous boards, I didn't use registration. There's no update so you can pretty much define a new userID, register, then get rid of it.
