Interesting site, BUT, as one would suspect, all is not free here. I=20
went to the site and signed up for an email partner to exchange English=20=

and German. I could not find any mention of a fee. Then, when I had done=20=

all my profile and had found an interesting potential partner, I get the=20=

notice that unless I am a "Gold" member, I could not contact a partner.

Now, relatively speaking, this is cheap. If you sign for a year, you can=20=

pay US$ 1.00 a month. Other terms are a bit more expensive per month.

To Vann's credit, he is an Idyller and has written some great trip logs.

Given all that, is this SPAM? To me, it is close, but a mention of the=20=

small fee would have made it less like SPAM.

Don't mean to be an old ph*rt here, and I am certainly no friend of the=20=

Gestapo
