Concerned:

You make an eloquent and well written concern (we all make typos, I'd hate to have you as an editor, your spelling was outstanding!!!) which makes your posts a joy to read. Although I am not a technically advanced as some of my peers here on the forum and cannot offer a relatively intellegent arguement of the pros and cons of the technology, I can say that my experience with LW has been positive and that the "marketing gimmicks" that often appear at other sites, are simply not the case here. Money ain't everything, but it's definitely makes living in this world a hell of a lot easier and I think the creators of this site shouldn't be seen as sell-outs or devious little capitalists because they ask for a donation to keep the site going.

I hope you'll reconsider your initial impressions and I look forward to seeing you around the forums...a person with such an intelligent, open mind simply has to hang around!!!
