		<description>Podz, I couldn&#039;t agree more.  That&#039;s why I always maintain an Active Plugins page (linked to in my Footer).  Thanks for stopping by to share you thoughts!  ^_^  I hope we can make at least a few people think differently about the free services that they&#039;re enjoying.

And, Phil, thanks for the donation!  We just received it.  Believe it or not, $1/month really does go a long way.</description>

		<description>Very true.. all very true.
And you know who else is forgotten ? Plugin authors.
How many thousands of blogs were helped by the work of Kitten, drDave ? How many blogs continue to be protected by the work of drDave and IOError ? I wonder if they ever made it to even 1 cent per plugin used ?

&quot;Thank you&quot;
That goes a very very long way with me. And yet sniping in the forums blows it away instantly. Seems right now there is more sniping than smiles. That&#039;s a shame.</description>
