    Default Is It Free??

    This is a terrific web site. I don't see any link to contribute to maintain the site. Is it possible? Is this terrific site free?

    Yes, it's wonderful and free. I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you clicked on an ad or two every so often.

    Yep, as Krellion mentioned, it's ad-funded. Click a LOT, too, because internet ad revenue ain't what it used to be.

    Back inside of the site's first year, when it was still run by Dr. Lyle Dennis, you could also buy a black-on-white Volt T-shirt which I'm sure helped defray his costs a bit (although, IIRC, Lyle also had some ads). Not to mention, you got a cool T-shirt, too. I still have mine.

    VerticalScope, which bought the site from Lyle, appears to get their revenue exclusively from the ads. (Jeff Cobb, did I get that all correct?)
