I am hoping what you did was a hobby and out of vB love, and giving back to the community and that we all appriciate. It is nothing personal against you - apologies if it sounded like that. It just feels weird to me that I see more and more 'lite' on this site, with indirect advertisement to 'full' or 'pro' on another site. There is even that SEO hack being developed where people get a buggy beta for free (to help test obviously) and the full version won't be free. It helps sales for that author to use vBorg to promote his full version by telling people they can get a free beta now.
I just feel it shuffs the vBorg into another dimension, more commercial, while it is a customer resource web site. Honestly, I didn't really know how to say it otherwise.
Your hack by the way is 'complete', it does not feel feature-less, it does what it says it does and the code works and can help a lot of sites including a few of my own.

Yes, you are right. I should not have taken that conversation into this thread. My apologies to the Geek.
