Duritz - congrats on the recent success.
The sunnies help my image, not sure about my punting but at least they look good!

I agree with what you're saying re international ratings. A uniform rating system from the users standpoint, would open a whole range of interesting possibilities and one that i will look forward to following.

From your discussions with them, do you have any inkling of the costs involved? I am assuming different "package" levels will be available. From memory i don't think present offerings are prohibitively expensive - $40 a month or so although i can't recall what that was for.

Enough said - i will certainly look forward to seeing your posts and following (hopefully) your successes
