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 ...
