UT is a business that turns out to offer a wide variety of services. Because of all of those services, it ended up reuniting many individuals sharing the same interests. That's why there's a community.

But It's still a business. Michel's business.

I'm very thankfull for it because of all the help it provided me over the years.

Besides that It's none of my business <g>

I mean that they (owners, managers...) have the right to do everything they want to do with it. As long as there are fair rules to follow I'll keep coming here for a while.
