Judy: Not to speak for STAFF, however, he follows the "letter of the law" and does not state in his board posts that he is charging a fee. It is not til you correspond with him in private that he brings up the fee schedule. It would appear that unless a URL to a commercial site, or the mention of fees or any international symbol for currency is used in such posts, they are left. 'Tis a fine line... and he has not crossed it on the boards. Taken at face value, he's inline with the AUP. However -- yup -- I have written him and been quoted fees. He's commercial. BUT his posts on the board do not indicate such.
