Michele,
I agree with you, in that I feel the business owner section should be password protected. As it is now, any potential client searching about home inventories on the web can enter and read this forum ... which I thinks takes away from the urgency and importance of them having this service preformed for them.
As far as you folks who have tried contacting others, if you've used the forms on their websites, you probably won't hear from them. Over the years I have found that small businesses realy don't realize how important their wesite is, nor do they monitor it. I can't tell you the number of landscape achitects I recently notified via their website forms, and I only heard back from one. And he's the one that got the $$$$$ job.
OT -- regarding websites, people also do not realize how important it is to keep your website up to date.
Anyhoo ... I think there should be an area that everyone can access to ask questions if they're interested in getting into this biz ... although I don't know how much help they'd get as it stands now. Fred and a few others are the grestest at this!
As for peeps that own the software (i.e. clients) they should have their own support forum ... separate from the business aspect.
