One thing is that I don't have the knowledge to do a data base on the web or the
time. I am not too sure what whinging is. I am sure that there is income from
the Amazon banner and I use it whenever I buy from Amazon and that is quite
often. I also believe that income is generated from the Brinklink stores that
advertise their items on the inventory page, so it is not a matter of money. I
would gladly pay for Peeron like I did for Lugnet. Why don't you stop
complaining about my complaning and help them correct their inventories? I am
not making demands, just asking. When they ask for corrections and ask you to
send in changes or pictures and then do nothing, that deserves comment.
