It appears that we are in agreement then. Perhaps I misinterpreted your
use of the word support, which you rightly clarified. In any event, let
me state my opinion to this topic.
I think it might not be a bad idea, but personally I wouldn't become
involved in a wallpaper of the month activity. Why? I have too many of
them already, and am a really lousy artist who could not possibly create
anything that would appeal to a goldfish. So, if I don't want more
wallpaper, and I can't make more wallpaper, what good is a wallpaper of
the month site to me?
