????? The International Clarinet Association site has <b>no</b> "pay" area for members! I know - I run that site.

Rene, I wish there were enough money coming in to run it by sponsors - but there isn't. If you check carefully on the sponsors list, you will find that almost all are very small companies - they can't afford much in the way of advertising or Web sites. Have you looked at what it costs - really costs - to have a nice commercial Web site?

If I didn't provide a low-cost hosting service then many of the people you see advertising wouldn't be on the Internet - and your choices would be limited to the few big companies.

As to your not using or not wanting to pay for the services - that's fine. I don't hide any of them. But the chances are that if I didn't keep all this information centralized on one server you'd be spending a lot more time hopping around the Internet <i>trying</i> to find the information.
