[FRIAM] scraping a web site

[Marcus Daniels]

Glen, is this like a `free’ signup to Hulu, right?   Cancel now, or expect an invoice?

My God, Glen,



Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have to think what I want to do next.  In some ideal world, I would sign up for one of those websites where for not too much money you can edit a web site, and bring the old site in and start working on it.  But surely life is not that easy, right?



This is amazing.  I never thought I would escape Earthlink.  They have the worst help system … the kind where you have to repeat your question over and over again.  I am breathing deeply.

Hey Nick,



I went ahead and downloaded your page(s) and put it up here:

Let me know if I've missed anything.  I'm happy to help move it wherever.
