For a non-starter idea, this has sure turned into a very long thread.
Thats cause one thing TMC really loves to do, is discuss (and help people with ) charging solutions. Its actually one of the things I like most about the site.
People are willing to freely give all of their knowledge, discussing an individual persons charging solution or proposed solution, even if the original idea didnt really make sense. Also, generally speaking anyway, there tends to be very little "snark" in these threads, unless the regulars who post in them get a whiff of someone being disingenuous.
