My thoughts:

1. I agree with Bruce in Alaska, " I, for one would like to hear about
your expertiese in Marine Electronics
so as to make a judgement on the reliability of any advice you might
profer to any questions."

2. Dump your programmer. It's hopeless. My 10 year old daughter has
better web-site skills, and if she was doing your web-site, I would
still suggest you find some more talented programmer. If your
programmer needs guidence in the area of graphic user interfaces, which
you may very well be able to give him/her, what will you do when it
comes to things beyond your skill level ... like how he/she should meet
reasonable standards for protecting the security of our credit card
#'s, and other information.

3. Yes, great prices. Probably only thing saving you from a complete
drumming by this crowd. Maybe you have a chance with this crowd, if we
are convinced you took our warning about spamming to heart, if we grow
to believe your next web-site progammer can protect our credit card
data, and if we see good advice to our fellow members.

I don't decide anything, just telling you how it is. If it were not for
those prices, I would suggest you give up now ... maybe you still
should, considering all the "ifs above", it might be more productive to
get a new progammer, new login (instead of Pilot house Marine), and try
all over again with us.
