shocking that I should get such a response. on one end, there is a TON of legwork with regard to my idea that involves reaching out to each adventure operator and incorporating content into the site. I did mention it was extremely fragmented and a lot of the value would come from bringing information together/generating unique content. also, i did learn to hack in xhtml/css and although i know they are not true programming languages it is a start in that i can at least hack together part of a front end

> shocking that I should get such a response. Not really - looks like you've been here a while, so you knew that. I'm not saying your deal is no good, just that you're going to have to work hard to sell people on yourselves. Working for free has big opportunity costs for everyone involved, and as you must have seen here, everyone has bumped into the "I have a wonderful idea I just need you to do it for me for free" types, so I'm just giving you a suggestion to show you're not like that. > Major PLUS - an interest in the outdoors, biking, hiking, adventure travel!!! > Strongly prefer someone in NYC tri state area (NY, NJ, CT) Why would anyone who loves the outdoors live in that area?;-)

  The "shocking" part was completely sarcastic :) I totally understand the value of one's time. i am not hoping to ignite that whole business person vs coder battle or come across as a business person jerk, which is why I am presenting myself as a tech collaborator who will build the front end.i myself have already spent countless hours baking the idea, talking to industry experts, etc
