Now, those of you who know me pretty well are doubtless familiar with my stringent anti-commercialist rants when it comes to utilization of the Miami network -- however, I must swallow my pseudo-Proudhon spoutings and make a couple of comments. It is my understanding that the ASG web site *is* developed by a professional, commercial web developer -- Scott Rocke, if I'm not mistaken -- but I *also* believe that Scott Rocke developed the site for free (please please please correct me if I'm mistaken) for ASG and, at the time he did the site, he *was* a Miami student. - john f.
