Allan,

>>why should the UT provide it's services for no charge?<

That's not the point. Morgan isn't saying that Michel shouldn't be charging money for PUTM status ... there is nothing wrong with running a profitable business and I'm sure that Morgan will be the first to agree with me on that. It's just that the WebServices, as Michel has designed them, are not useful at all to a non-PUTM member, so what's the point in having them?

>>Like I said, it must be my fault, I misintrepreted the community and made the mistake of thinking it had a little of the altruistic nature of open source community.
