[Brendan Quinn]

You're the only one who has replied so far Melinda (thanks). Sigh. Perhaps
"If I build it they will come" but I doubt it :-)

brendan,thanks for the education,i did not realise there was so much
involved,as i put yesterday,i am happy to host some stuff on my 2 links but
there over at myspace,so well,it may prove costly as you mentioned,however,i
can host a bit and let someone else host the other  bits,as we are all
gatherers,there should be no problem,one big happy disfunctional family and
all that,if i can help let me know  will you someone  eitherwayok ;D)))
 
i will also be happy to" chip in  cash" along with brendan  as also
suggested,a bit with everyone else ,if only one private server is going to
host everything,however,b.4 i part with cast,i will need to know who the
private server is,thats only fare really ;)) so inform me and i may help you
out ;D)
