Meta-comment: Could we please fix the quoted-text-not-wrapping 'problem' on this site? I hate having to scroll x,000 pixels to read a comment just because someone is using <pre> or whatever it is. FF3 on OS X.

I don't understand. You're saying that GM could build cars of similar quality to Toyota or Honda if they were only able to charge $2,000 more? I defy any one of the big three to release a minivan comparable to the Toyota Sienna for anywher

Great idea and solid execution, but I don't like your pricing page: http://userfly.com/pricing What is a Basic event vs. an Advanced event? How can I choose when I don't even know what those are?
