I think if you want it tobe a deterrent to event spam, put that number a bit higher. That was my idea with the "first X are free for 1 calendaryear, the rest are $1k apiece" or something like that.<br /><br /> Chander<br /><blockquote cite="mid:20071104093921.1764ce36@scratch"type="cite"><pre wrap=""> Joshua D.
