    Hope that helps.
    Mike, I love free, I really do (let's put it this way, before I found Xara, I was using SeaMonkey to make sites), but looking over this option I am not sure it is going to work because I basically set these up for multiple clients and really don't want to have to get stuck adding to their lists/sorting for them, and the free account seems to only work for me if I was doing all of that, but good on you for the idea, I really do appreciate it, and will be bookmarking Mail Chimp for referral when clients want total control and a free alternative to paying me for my time. Thanks again...

    Chris, your suggestion looks like the best fit, and I am assuming you have used this software yourself, so if I can pick your brain a bit, will I be able to create individual forms & reply systems for each of my clients? I really like the low price point too.

    GW...you have my word, no more dated west coast referrences...well at least for today.

    Okay, so I am going to throw this out here now because if anyone else in my position reads it, hopefully it will save them a lot of trouble. I started out in this whole foray by happening on a copy of Xara Photo & Graphic Editor. I liked it enough after the free trial that I bought it. In fact I liked it so much, I bought Web Designer 6 WITHOUT taking advantage of the free trial. Since then I have purchased many a great program without using a free trial first after reading recommendations from other users in this forum, always with fantastic results (and you all do a great job which is EXTREMELY appreciated). Also, I am not blaming anyone (including myself) for how this played out, but I hope relaying this experience will save any other GoDaddy customers a headache.
    ...and for the record, Chris, regardless of what just happened to me at coffee cup I still think you kicked tail in both response time and in providing me with a solution that if I was not a GoDaddy customer would have fit the bill perfectly, so kudos to you my friend.
    Here it is. I bought the program from Coffee Cup. After installing it (not after PURCHASE, after INSTALL) I was notified that if I had a GoDaddy hosting account that their software would not work properly and was directed to a work around thread. That thread instructed me to modify the code in order to work around the flaw in their software, or leave GoDaddy as a host. The second option is not an option at all since I have had to clean up too many messes for my clients created by other hosts, and I am (obviously) not a techie, so after reading through technical jargon I frankly didn't get, I posted to their "support thread" that this would have been nice to have known prior to purchase. I was met with a barrage of insulting e-mails calling me names telling me I should have used the free trial first (sure, I will concede that I should have gone with the free trial first, but for staff of ANY company to behave that way? All I can say is WOW), and the VP of Development essentially stating the same thing, though a little nicer with the delivery, granted. So if anyone out there is like me, and uses GoDaddy, don't go for Coffee Cup, (Go Daddy provided me with their free service which I didn't even know they offered for this purpose here http://community.godaddy.com/help/article/512?locale=en). Everyone else, better know your coding or you might get treated like a dolt.

    For the record, I really do appreciate the fact I have never been treated like a fool here (or at GD) for not knowing something, which is why I stay with GD, buy Xara/Magix products and continue to use TG forums as my first line of knowledge when I get lost on something.Though separated by company lines, you all share the same dedication to excellence in customer service that "n00bs" like me really appreciate.
