I haven't, no, but that's definitely something I will do. A good

As have I, and I very much know what you mean. It's classic
fragmentation that happens all too often. There's plenty of people out

that, but not as well know as say, PHP).

I'll go ahead and see what I can get from the existing sites. Maybe an
affiliation/partnering system could start up, with both sites
providing content and 'flattering' the other.
Thanks for your reply!
