[QUOTE=Dervorin] **Scuba\_Ben** , it only remains for you to establish which one it is - or why not have both? [/QUOTE] Because the mods generally frown on that sort of thing, especially if they can’t join in. ---

> [@](#): > > You should read what I wrote more carefully. I never said that I was going to sell anything. I just wanted it so I could search faster. > > Please don’t alter the meaning so much. I guess that’s technically true. You never specifically said you were going to charge for the DVD’s you were going to make. But you also never said you were planning to give them away for free either. However, your statement about wanting to see how much of a demand there was for them before you made them does makes your post sound more like a marketing plan than a charitable offer. ---
