hmm, watching MV grow, I always wondered about why so many people 
are using and downloading MV and so few gave openly credit to the
free package they are using and even less were announcing they
offer the package as part of their hosting services on their
server.

I am even more amazed to watch the world of virtual ISPs and web
designers being quite generous to themselves in using a no-cost 
software package, but being so greedy to not even consider a 
hosting service for more than $35.00 a month and certainly at the 
same time asking for a nice hourly consultant fee for building
something with that no-cost package (AND asking a lot of questions
about how to do that here at the same time).

Apparently, you all consider using and offering MV to your
customer as a means of an income, on the other hand you can't
even invest into an adequately priced hosting service, although
by now every one knows how crucial it is to set up MV on your
server correctly.

How often do you sit down with a friend and a pizza and a beer
for $35.00 ?

Really strange ... 

And to the guy who throws around scare tactics about how much
CPU time MV could take, believe me, others know how much it takes,
and because of that they might be worth more than a couple of
meager dollars. 

Not meant to be a personal attack to anyone, just a viewpoint 
from someone who apparently "is not getting it".
