[LOGic] Updated Call/Country list suggestion

[Bill Horner Laptop]

U have won me.......... I reckon that for 12 hours a week required has got 
to be worth a fee even all be it at say $20 a year per person........ its a 
hobby so if u got a hundred users that would equate to possibly $5 per hour 
pay......... which is a fifth at best of what a standard wage is here 
according to the government ( gee I wish ).

Anyway I think a monthly service would suffice more so than weekly.
cheers
