hmmm... just my .02 cents here.. Support doesn't always mean financial backing. I have gotten invaluable information and help from lots of the "big" directory owner's on here. I have found that you need to submit to quality directories, there are too many that come and go overnight. Seems like a lot of the more established owners are more than willing to give advice and help you out, but don't expect "financial support" until you can build something that is beneficial to them as well. After all, this IS a business proposition. Lance
