Rick,

I did not take it as such.  And yes, I agree ... I like Stauber's SPAM
Filter from what I have seen of the GUI on his site.  It looks like a lot of
time and effort went in to it.  If I actual hosted people, I would purchase
it as well.  But, for what I do on my Cobalt, it is not worth it.  No hard
feelings!

Once again, I agree.  I just installed his, about 10 minutes too :-) (not
following your instructions though) ... and he does have a lot of nice
contribs.  I believe I have only 10 installed on mine.  There are ALOT out
there.  I was reading that they were actually going to go through and
install the "best of the best".  Personally, I searched HIGH and LOW for a
great e-commerce site.  I have seem some so advanced it give me nightmares,
and I consider myself advanced.  It was orginally done by Red Hat software,
and then passed off to someone else.  If anyone knows it, post it.  But,
like I said that is over kill.  osCommerce, to me, just seemed like a
logical choice, and alot of people who do own Cobalts are not Gurus by any
means (not to say that there isn't any), so I did it for the person who
wants a real simple solution.  And another good spin off of osCommerce is
at:

http://www.ossuite.org/

Really really nicely done.  Kudos to that author as well.  Anyone who likes
osCommerce should look at it.

Thanks,

Brian
