UT loves what he is doing, but it does take a block of time out of every day to seek and find and post the IOTD's and to monitor the threads, etc, even when nothing is going wrong. As he says, it is a labor of love, but as an artist myself who would do my work without public support if I had to (and have done in the past), I understand the motivation. But the public also knows this and knows that they can get an artists work cheaper or even for trade because the artist is going to keep working anyway. For some of you, perhaps many of you, that is what is happening here.

Like public broadcasting, I am pushing the guilt button. But you all do need to think about what kind of benefit you get from having the Cellar available, and borrowing another argument used by public radio, waht would you do if it weren't here? UT has never wanted to make it a commercial site with ads, etc., paying for it.

Mother will shut up now.
