Okay he's probably one of the worst orators we've had in office for at least 20 years, though I personally see no cause to accuse him of excessive stupidity... but that's beside the point... I will take him and worse any and every day of the week over a man with no moral character and no conscience and no self control or respect for his office. Regarding your response: 1. the author's right to free speech was not questioned 2. instead, the focus is on his lack of tact or taste 3. censorship would be deleting the original post, attacking free speech would be to suggest he can be arrested or persecuted for it but most importantly... that really WAS funny :) (our disagreements can be good-natured, can't they?)

Ahhh... but I don't want an open source project. I want to make a saleable product. Any different suggestions then? (but thanks)

I have been using the F-R (e-mail me for the full name) calendar component. The GUI is beautiful, the features are great, but the implementation is oh-so stinky and completely not scalable. I had gone off on my own and built both a relational database design to handle wildly flexible recurring events, event exceptions, and an ASP.NET control to draw a monthly calendar. The problem? I am awful at graphics, web page design, and I am new at ASP.NET to boot. So I'm not equipped to turn this into a real product. An entire look and feel needs to be invented, along with the standard series of data entry and admin panels. I am equipped to do make quick work of the database-to-code programmign side, but need the HTML/design help plus some guidance on the right way to handle certain conditions of updating the display in the client's browser. Anybody interested in discussing a possible partnering to make more out of this, please contact me. I feel like the hardest technical part is solving some of the database issues and in making the development of database persistence easy - the rest is the hard work part to build a UI around that.
