- Yes and no.
- My service is free. It's not a commercial service and I do not benefit in any

- I don't run an online store. I more valid comparison is to say that I have
- put parts of my home online.
- No one has the -right- to enter my home even though I do allow lots of
- people in there.

- Not much.
- If there's ever a problem, I can always contact the affected users and notify
- them about it. I have done so a few times, and they all really appreciated it.

- Fine, but in that case you've got no business inside my computer.
