Fair point Sajid,

All techical things are not the same however....

We all know that people were once payed a fortune for HTML coding,
once everyone realised you didn't need a computer science degree to knock up
a HTML page the price dropped, or at least the requirements for a good HTML
coder extended beyond the ability to use a few <TABLE> & <P> tags !

I would have thought it was in most peoples intrests to know this before
parting with their cash ?

I supose I could have posted a followup offering to provide a similar
service to Matteo's without the 'charge per visitor delivered', however as
you point out we are "busy enough with winding our Prime Minister up every
five minutes" ;-)

However it is true that if Matteo's service is resonably priced and works
then go with it.

I'm sure they will make sure everything works (ie. your home built hacked
up script doesn't let a new verion of Netscape in !), and keep up to date
on the latest search engine spiders.

Sorry Matteo this wasn't a pure attack on your company, maybe I just fed up
seing product which seem very elaborate but boil down to something simpler
