I didn't say that you were, just that the things you
were pointing out and saying were starting to swing me
on the issue.
Thanks for filling us in further on the without a box
issue. They really do word things to be as misleading
a s they can get away with don't they?

Are you sure you havn't seen comments made for other
listings too. It's probably just that when comments
have been posted before the original poster has just
ignored them.

I think there are nasty problems and dangers with the
functionality of wab too. It also seems somewhat
pointless in a non entry fee world. A standardised
submission form could be agreed upon without the need
for anything more than a place to download it from.
You are going to have to post your work anyway, at
least for the forseeable future, so you might as well
just download the form and send it out.
Actually, I think I might create one and put it up
somewhere. :)
love
Freya
