I would like to express my humble thanks to Fred for his encouraging remarks. It's not often that we receive expressions of gratitude from the website visitors and/or Board members, thus each one means so very much when they come our way. [Linked Image]

Marie,

You asked how much it costs us to maintain the website and this Board for a certain length of time. I admit, I am a bit reluctant to say exactly how much, and to be honest it would be only a relative amount that I could give you as things do change; mostly increase in cost. But let me simply say that it costs me personally in excess of $2000 annually to meet all the various expenses involved. (the labor is free <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" /> )

And yes, there is the matter of the exchange rate, but perhaps you are not taking into account that most of the costs involved are paid in U.S. funds. Thus, it actually costs me more since 90% of the costs have come out of my own piggy bank. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

In His marvelous grace,
