Hahaha... Not really foxmccloud, it's just that so far nothing has been cast in stone. If you would take a look at my entry in the
online petition, you would see that I do think that the PROPOSED increase is far to much. I suggested that the rate ( if indeed one is
needed) be increased to about 25.00 a year. That, in itself, is a 25% increase. I also suggested that the tourist mode be continued.
Although I can see putting a "try before you buy" time limit on it.

Actually it isn't any more difficult to publish at 15 then at 42 or any other age. The only real difference is under the age of
legal entitlement, IE: 18 or 21 or whatever, you would need a guardians co-signature on any legal documents.

Well children, the bot entered Holistic and left, BFD!!. Thats about as bad as cutting across
ones lawn, so what?. Grow up. No harm, no foul. I am sure you all can think of something more
worthwhile to bitch about than this. And don't talk to me about your precious "rights" being
crossed. Bullshit. You know damn well that you are only licensed to USE the world and browser
software, so don't get into such a huff when the owners decide to stop in and check PUBLICLY
available information.

What you are failing to get into your head is that, using your analogy, the so
called "private property" is just leased not owned. Gads, as the property owner,
aw doesn't need your persmission to come in. It is only a courtesy that
property owners notify before entering NOT a legal requirement. Ask any apt.
complex owner. they always reserve the right to enter. and remember that even
though the software sits on your computer, AW still owns it.
