Wherewithal has been more or less comatose and on life support for
years, but I think that a funeral is a little bit premature.
Occasional changes to the "executive team" appear on the Web site --
i.e., new blood occasional signs on without performing due diligence,
then resigns after a few months once it becomes apparent that they've
been sold a bill of goods. Similarly, the composition of
Wherewithal's "Advisory Board" has gradually changed, the difference
being that investors who pony up the cash to keep Wherewithal on life
support maintain a vested interest in Wherewithal's dubious future.

I have been contacted by former Wherewithal Category Owners over the
last few years, and my advice to them has been to rent space from one
of the many reasonably-priced hosting services that are readily
available, then move their content to said hosting services. (See,
e.g., < http://directnic.com/?6533 > -- up to 20MB of hosting and 2
gigabytes of data transfer for $15.00 per year.) Beyond that, an
open/free content license (i.e., e.g., the GNU Free Documentation
License used by Wikipedia <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License > will
allow you to share (and/or *SELL*) your directory content while
insuring that credit is given where credit is due.
