It is my intent to block all IPs from China. Sorry but I've read enough to know I don't want to deal with the by product of those cyber cafes. If anyone else has had the opportunity to visit that Country, they fully understand what is driving these children of the streets. It's nothing personal, just a means by which they can eek out a living at our expense. Anyone legitimate can contact me and I'll get help figuring something out. Others can deal with the NoSpam!

I only want Force Read for the TOS, PP, and rules. Possibly changes to same. Don't know. Will consider that at such time as there is a change to a TOS.

Yes, I spent time reviewing all add-ons more so to familiarize myself with what would be available to me. Wanted bare bones for the direction I want to go and it would appear I did ok in the initial selection process.

Yes, I found the Q&A here. Loved them and will be over in that area again and again. Those Q&A's here and at AdminZone are the reason why I'm in a position to communicate my needs some semblance of intelligently. You poor people would have been dealing with a babbling idiot were it not for Q&A areas. Most people don't suffer fools well.

Thank you very kindly for your suggestions Digital Jedi. Must think about vCredits but will add it to my notes along with AME. There will be quite a few users on dial up so I must consider their stress levels in using the site. Will need to learn much more about how to accommodate dial up users but am pushing that to a back burner for the time being. Would the Downloads II add-on be capable of handling a Power Point presentation?

Many thanks to all of you. I feel more comfortable with feeling uncomfortable about this whole start up process.
