Branding is kool & can be a last laugh but it leads to custome compilation. Custom compilation can be good to give a customer more of what they need but it leads to version control. Version control to me is like going to the Dentist -- don't even want to but ya know ya got too!

BTW, Checked out MindSpring & no ISDN down here -- yet. They ar elooing at it & I got a feeling there may be a 'greasy wheel' (s). It does sound VERY nice!
