Mike, from a non-technical point of view -- the only one I've got, I fear --
the major maintenance issue for "We Review Teas" was that it was a
controlled site wherein the site master controlled who could review and who
could not. A similar site, but one in which anybody could add their stuff,
would require fare less control and therefore time, right? (I just read
your WHOLE paragraph above. Disregard my drivel.)

Still, I'd like to see somebody -- Nico/Nicolas, perhaps -- do this.
