Can you believe that they are charging for the DHTML HeirMenus featured at Webreference? 
Any comments on this?

I think its sad that javascripts cost money (especially US$30 :eek: ). *Sigh* I guess noose really is tightening on the free nature of the web...
Can you imagine having to pay for membership on forums like TWF? :eek:
Or does it already exist?

I think it does in some places (paying for forum memberships) - there was a conversation about this in Internet Business Disucssion awhile back.
I guess you could consider these hiermenus to be a specialized program, like a piece of software almost so I think it makes sense to charge for them. This is a very complex script that most people wouldn't be able to program themselves. It is also fairly hard to find a script like this that will work in all browsers and is easy to set-up (there are a few that I know of
).
However, and this is the big "but" in this scenario - these Hiermenus DO NOT work in Opera! If it was completely cross-browser compatible I could see paying for it but otherwise.... no.

Not really - but Thomas is only charging one person directly
He also states that his time will be devoted to the site in relation to how much money it brings in.
Kinda free I guess
Mike.
