SCN: Democracy Tour

[patrick]

Rod and Doug,

I am not dismissing SCN in any way, whatsoever. It is rare and
unusual and very special. There is nothing like it in this area (I
don't know about the rest of the world.) Thank god we have something
other than Citysearch and SeattleInsider.

However, as Melissa and others have stated, it has a lot of
potential.

I am not dismissing what it has. I am lamenting about what it doesn't
have.  

Patrick

Example of what would be cool: Would not SCN totally rock if it had
secure FTP for individual users to create websites without ads?
