Hopefully Elein will clarify, but I don't *think* that General Bits would be classified in the same league as 'EMS' or 'Nusphere' ... if General Bits is a "for free resource", then it has as much value as techdocs, I would think ... if its a 'subscription only service', then I'd lump it in with EMS/Nusphere ... If 'for free', then she is probably a value service to the community ... IMHO ... Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email: scrappy@hub.org Yahoo!: yscrappy ICQ: 7615664
