Wow, I think that is the most eloquent response I have ever seen you write.
Very true also.
I don't think any 3rd party vendor will get rich off the TS community, I have
watched friends of mine who have dedicated tremendous amounts of time on
products for TS and get rather dismal response. The key is probably in a niche
like yours, where you can easily port the product to multiple products.
