All very good points. I can certainly respect giving back to the community as you have done, and applaud those efforts.
I suppose everyone has their own means of support. I think I like the idea of 'movie credits' though you make a good point, that it would be obnoxious on every page. But it is a good analogy in movies that somewhere, everyone is given credit, down to the very camera lens and films used! I think a separate page outlining these details may be the direction I move. Thanks for your response, I certainly did not mean to belittle anyone, and apologize if it is taken that way.
