Now to me it seems that nobody goes to the trouble and expense of developing a site and then offering it for free to a specific group of people for just purely academic reasons. If for instance I were to use your site for some time: a] I would have substantial private data there which is unsecured and without recourse if that information is made available to anyone else. b] After 30 days I suppose you could suspend my access pending a fee payment? I ask myself what your interest is but given your main empoyment then it is clear you have access to the needs of Diabetics but you are not diabetic and nor are you a medical practitioner. So why the site? What did you have in mind? suspicious? Well yes and I think with very good reason and I am sure you of all people can understand that there are a lot of people out there that see a specific group of people like diabetics as a customer base - $$$$$ on the hoof. Tha fact that you are listed on Mendosa.com means diddly squat. All the links on your site are to well known resource facillities and I doubt that you'd be able to do that with impunity unless they had agreed. So they know of you and your site. That is no recommendation as to your motive. Thee is no thing as a free lunch matey. Making money at the expense of someone elses vulnerability especially using knowledge gained in ones employment might be seen by that employer and the community at large - as not a very good advert.
