In some ways I am computer savvy and in other ways I don't understand the connections in cyberspace.

I realized that TOTV has to be funded somehow, and this [site] looks so much more "commercial" at first glance.

Tal, you know about this kind of stuff. Muncle, you do too and Village Kahuna? And my ever reliable Village 07.

Now that I have responded to them to tell them to take me off the list, will some nasty deed be done to me and mine?
My guess is that they just trolled through the TOTV website looking for Members with visible emails to get them to look at their website. Which if you looked at it would get them more hits which in turn allows them to raise their advertising rates??
