It's funny, I really get annoyed at everyone trying to shove toolbars on me, and yet I'm strangely tempted to go to this website and make one. Regardless, great list. It'll take me forever to actually have a chance to go through all of these and check them out.

I guess it's all part of the plan. LOL!

@allen92 - I've just been nosey & had a look at your Crossloop page.

You may want to take a look at this line in your description ;

Although I have set prices, I will to compromise to an lower price at my desertion if called for.

Perhaps you're intending to write something more like ;

Although I have set prices, I may be willing to reach a compromise with you and can at my discretion agree to lower prices.

Just a suggestion!
